Mecedora by Maria Bayardo, resin, Edition Signed and numbered 4 of 4, 29cm high by 29cm wide by 34cm deep, Figurative, Man, Woman, People, Body sculpture

Mecedora by Maria Bayardo is a signed and numbered resin sculpture, edition 4 of 4, measuring 29cm high, 29cm wide, and 34cm deep. The piece presents a curled red figure, abstract yet unmistakably human in its pose and emotion. The figure folds inward, its limbs blending seamlessly into one another, forming a continuous flowing shape. Legs tuck close to the chest as the arms wrap protectively around them, while the head bows low, creating a compact, introspective composition.

Despite its abstraction, the sculpture captures a sense of stillness and vulnerability. The smooth resin surface enhances this calm energy, while its deep red tone gives the piece warmth and intensity. Light glides softly across the polished form, emphasizing its curves and shadows. Each contour feels deliberate, drawing the eye around the figure’s cyclical motion, reinforcing the sense of self-containment.

As viewers move around the sculpture, its simplicity transforms into complexity, what first appears as a single mass reveals delicate variations in shape and depth. The piece feels meditative, as if caught between motion and rest. Bayardo’s Mecedora balances abstraction with humanity, turning a minimal form into a universal symbol of reflection and emotional embrace.
