ABOUT

Being faithful and obedient, monumental sculpture has always been complementary to the architecture and accompanied its privileged sister in order to integrate more or less organically the space created by the latter.

Today, the sculpture goes down from its usual pedestal and invades everything, it doesn't obey no longer any rule and exists even apart from a given architectural context. It plays its own and independent part in the space and society, and makes the viewer have a reaction that is different from an ordinary and passive admiration or even disinterest with which it had been treated over several centuries. Nowadays, monumental sculptures appear in the middle of parks and gardens, form part of builduings, cellars, hotels and palaces, contemporary art museums, wine estates, companies, business centers. They reinforce an image of status, prestige and success. The imposing and majestic proportions of the monumental sculpture give a sense of power and evoke admiration and wonder.
