Isabel Miramontes remembers a bronze sculpture facing the sea in Asturia, a region close to her native Galicia. Her story had upset her. The work represents a woman in a hatchback, with drawn features, stretching her arm out to sea. It is a mother who sees her son leave for America. She leaves her child free to go and build his future, full of hope. This memory inspired Promesse, a sculpture whose body soars with confidence and strength.
Isabel Miramontes gives each of her sculptures a soul of her own. Each figure carries within it a message delivered by a movement, a posture, an expression. To achieve this near perfection, Isabel Miramontes shapes the material, lightens it, softens it, bares it, works the curves until reaching this subtle and powerful balance.
Provenance
Isabel Miramontes remembers a bronze sculpture facing the sea in Asturia, a region close to her native Galicia. Her story had deeply touched her. The work represents a woman in a hatchback, with drawn features, stretching her arm out to sea. It is a mother who sees her son leave for America. This one made her a promise to be always there when he is back, and leaving her loved child free to go and build his future, full of hope.
This memory inspired Promesse, a sculpture whose body soars with confidence and strength.
