Rome is not just a city—it is a living memory of the world, where history merges with the unique Mediterranean light and a timeless aesthetic. The atmosphere of the Eternal City and Roman mythology became the main impulse for my new sculpture series. The central motif for me became Venus, a symbol of love, beauty, and natural female strength, which I translated into a modern, expressive form full of dynamics.
For this collection, I chose bronze—a traditional, earthy material that lends the artwork depth, durability, and tangible value. The result is a limited edition of three bronze Venus sculptures, each representing an individual, expressively crafted original with a raw gestural texture. These relaxed, modern forms capture light in space and bring a collector's accent with a deep story of ancient history into the interior.
All three sculptures are unique originals available for acquisition. Further information about the artworks and purchasing options can be found in the e-shop at https://www.saracambalova.com/shop?page=2
