About the Item

Refuges is a unique Belgium black marble, Bardiglio marble, petit granit and steel sculpture by contemporary artist Francesca Bernardini. The sculpture is maintained on the granite base, dimensions including the base are 340 × 110 × 80 cm (133.9 × 43.3 × 31.5 in). The sculpture is signed and comes with a certificate of authenticity. The artist's debut work was the 2000 series Nests, Cocoons, Crysalis. The sculptures in this collection are enclosed structures that evoke private, secure spaces: nests stand in for the home and the family, while cocoons and chrysalises are secure enclosings where one grows and changes in total safety. The sculptor's need to defend those she loves as well as her desire for a family and motherhood gave birth to the series during a personal internal exploration. The smooth, rounded forms of Francesca Bernardini's marble sculptures are based on mental states, feelings, and individual experiences. The forms and volumes that give them shape are frequently influenced by the natural world and are rich in symbolism connected to enduring themes, such as individual growth, the value of interpersonal relationships, respect for nature, and the life cycle.
