Kneeling Woman
850 €
This stylized bronze sculpture by Esperanza López-Montoya, belonging to the limited edition 3/8, represents a refined formal synthesis of the kneeling female nude directly tied to 20th-century avant-garde currents of organic sculpture and figurative vitalism, distinguished by the extreme elegance of its fluid contours, the stripped-back treatment of anatomical mass that omits upper limbs while subtly amplifying hips and torso to emphasize volume monumentality, and an extraordinary polished surface featuring a warm chestnut satin patina that yields a sensual play of ambient light, a work of unquestionable plastic merit mounted on its original beige stone pedestal whose structural purity, conceptual restraint, and masterly craft place it alongside modern sculptures preserved in prominent national and international public collections, institutional holdings, and contemporary art museums.

Esperanza López-Montoya (Spain, b. 1928) is a recognized Spanish sculptor and ceramist whose artistic career is characterized by a profound inquiry into the human figure, anatomical synthesis, and the refinement of organic forms, having developed a body of work focused on patinated bronze and studio ceramics distinguished by volumetric balance, the fullness of the female torso, and the tactile sensitivity of her surface finishes, an internationally projected creative production featured in significant exhibitions across Spain and Northern Europe, placing her sculptures in distinguished public and institutional collections, and frequently featured in prominent auction houses such as Bukowskis, Stockholms Auktionsverk, and Uppsala Auktionskammare.
