About this artwork

The work expresses the path of a life, that of an artist (autobiography of the artist herself?) where art has its primordial place in the process of transformation, rebirth and transfiguration of being. The work as a whole is the transformation brought about by art.
We can distinguish 5 women, each representing the stages of the life of the artist (or of any person in artistic creation). The first is seated, looking worried about a future, immature… and uncertain, the second is "awakening" by an intuitive impulse that becomes impulsive and energizing, the third is this woman with angel wings representing The Meeting with the Art, she is the one who knows and comforts anxiety...the fourth is in a creative ecstasy, she is at the feet of the fifth carried by the wings of Art, this old woman leaves for the world determined and free.
Art is a bridge between experience and being, it reconciles with oneself and with the world.

« The sculptor who lets herself be guided by the material will discover a secret about herself, making her own life a work of art, bridging the individual and the universal. »

Myriam de Lafforest is an award-winning sculptor based in Spain whose works have been exhibited nationally, as well as in France, Belgium, Italy, Germany, and England. For her,
Sculpture is a bridge between "being and lived experience." Furthermore, De Lafforest likens the artistic process to a mirror, in which an inner reality is suggested. His pieces are created in clay, then cast in bronze using the lost-wax technique.
Known for her figurative bronze sculptures, imbued with an intensity that is both embodied and spiritual, she now extends this language into painting, which she approaches as a surrealist and symbolic writing, emerging from the depths of dreams and the unconscious.
