Five women, five countries, one shared dedication, one shared material: bronze.
Mariela Garibay (Peru), Hedwige Leroux (Belgium), Paola Grizi (Italy), Isabel Miramontes (Spain), and Laurence Perratzi (France) have each chosen sculpture as their primary language of expression. Their process follows the same rigorous path: shaping clay by hand, patiently and intuitively, before the work is sent to an art foundry, where it is molded and cast in bronze — that timeless metal which captures the ephemeral and grants the artwork its permanence.
And yet, each artist’s universe shines with its own distinct identity.
What these five sculptors share is a common way of looking at the world — and within themselves — with gentleness and hope, transforming both into strength. In the relentless pace of the modern world, their works invite us to slow down; to seek, like bronze itself, something essential and enduring; to explore what unfolds within us. For sculpture is not merely a matter of form and material: it is emotion, poetry, a communication from soul to soul.
Their works do not impose themselves; they invite. They do not shout; they whisper something essential about the human condition, about fragile joy, about inner beauty.
The strength of softness lies precisely there: in the conviction that tenderness can be powerful, and that beauty can hold truth.
This exhibition brings together five artists represented by Casart and exhibited across Europe by Bel-Air Fine Art , one of Europe’s leading contemporary art gallery groups, established for over twenty years in Saint-Tropez
