Sculpture of round bulk made in bronze representing a young woman lying down with a firm face, directing her gaze to the front. The piece stands out for the rotundity of the forms that give the young woman features based on fluid forms. This type of volumetry, slightly influenced by classicism, brings us closer to the aesthetics of the 1920s, where feminine forms were reinterpreted, moving away from the ideal of the delicate lady of the 19th century.
The author thus offers us an image of restrained expressiveness. Regarding the technical and formal aspects, the sculptor demonstrates a great mastery of the craft, a virtuosity especially evident in details such as hair, or marked cheekbones.
Trained at L'escola Massana de Belles Arts i Oficis and L'escola de Arts i Oficis de la Llotja de Barcelona, with such renowned teachers as Rosa Martinez Brau, Josep Jassans and Mariano Vilella, Rosa García Ferrándiz forged a long artistic career internationally recognized. In 1972 she opened her workshop in Barcelona, where she became a tireless worker for her creative capacity, with her sculptures of traditional language, of simple ideas, but with great strength. Her work consists mostly of female figures with Mediterranean features, with harmonious forms that seek balance.
