Author's sculpture "Love"

The sculpture “Love” is a bold plastic statement, where the symbolism of the heart is intertwined with elements of vision, feeling and bodily materiality. Made of plaster with a silver-gray patina and fragments of golden radiance, the shape seems to be assembled from ragged layers — as if the heart has experienced many experiences and now bears traces of lived emotions. Inside this complex structure, one can guess the eyes, lips, and eyelids—anatomical metaphors of love, suffering, observation, and memory. The sculpture balances on a ball, as if indicating the instability of feelings, the fragility of balance and the unpredictability of movement.

The surface of the product is not polished to a high gloss — on the contrary, the rough texture enhances the feeling of authenticity and vibrant texture. Gold inclusions enliven the structure, turning it into a kind of relic — an artifact of the inner workings of the soul. Despite its abstraction, the object is read instantly: it is a heart that is not painted, but experienced. It's not a shape, it's a footprint. Sculpture is appropriate both in private collections of modern art and in interiors where the content is valued rather than the decoration.

The work was created as part of the Dobrotorium project.Art, the purpose of which is not only to promote the creativity of children with disabilities, but also to form a community in which everyone can touch art as an act of kindness, love and mutual understanding. “Love” is not just an object, it is a frozen feeling that cannot be expressed in words, but can be felt just by looking closely.
