Dulce's gallery: Sculpture with a Woman's name

Welcome to my Gallery. I invite you to experience my vision.

Stone Sculpture as Poetry of Form and Subject.

Abstract and Realistic Sculpture, Nudes and drawings from live models.

Origins

Origins

 Origins -Italian White Translucent Alabaster on African Mahogany and Black Marble. Organic form, sensual folds opening revealing the most delicate secrets. The beginning of all - the circle - unfolding into a succulent landscape of Female essence forms.

Origins - Rough Form

Origins - Almost done

  This is how Origins started, a chunk of Italian White Translucent Alabaster and how it began to get the curves and voids to become Origins, the beginning of life, of women.

Quiet intimacy of forms and leading paths to inner deep desires. The origin of the journey to the memories of the soul. Woman's Essence, free and gentle. Secret stroll on hidden paths,

warming souls and hearts.

Emerge

Emerge

Drawing for Emerge

drawing for Emerge

Emerge - Female torso made of "cafe au lait" alabaster from Mexico. The concept of the sculpture is about the formation of the female from the rock, the earth, coming to life. That is why I left part of it unfinished, still rough as the rock evolving into a smooth polished form. The drawings are the inspiration for the piece, the rough sketch of the idea.

Sculptures I am working on:

Goddess

Goddess - Healing Spirit -  Italian White Alabaster. The boulder  transforms into curvaceous female forms. The voids evocative of the transformation women's bodies have to endure through their lives. The mastectomies, the hysterectomies that hollow the physical body, but at the end SHE is still a beautiful goddess with a healing spirit.

Mystic Flower - Italian White Alabaster. Female forms become the flower of life, that mystic essence of women, her flower.

 

My Studio

My stone reveals its nature changing under my chisel, freeing the form within under the music of the hammer strikes, speaking to us. I love sculpting the human form, seeing it emerge and transmitting its emotion and my thoughts and desires through these forms in space. My themes reveal my search about myself, my sexuality and my life.

Art in all its forms feeds my soul and the need to communicate, to understand and to be part of those who experience my art. Art transcends cultures, countries and beliefs. Art teaches perseverance, growth, patience, understanding, thought, feeling, curiosity and love. Art gives me peace in this troubled world.

 I will photograph more of my work soon, this is just a small selection on the road to the uncovering of the female form and its sensuality. I am working now on beautiful white alabaster. Lets meet here.......again...... soon...

Dulce Maria

Flesh

Fingers touching

Flesh warm and moist

Silkiness among folds and mounds

Emerge

Passionate flesh, breathing desire

Heaving breath of lustful flesh 

Shining flesh ablaze with glimmering sweat

Emerge

Liquid shimmer of colors and lights

Flashing in front of my eyes

As the stone remains cold to my touch

Aromas of dust clung on the air

Tools licking the form, tracing valleys and mounds

Essence of form, nooks of skin and folds

Perfumed forms with the scent of my soul.
