IL Bacio by Maria Bayardo is a signed bronze sculpture, edition II of IV, standing 180 cm high, 40 cm wide, and 36 cm deep. This tall, slim piece captures the tenderness of a romantic embrace between a man and a woman.

The figures stand closely intertwined, their bodies subtly merging into one harmonious form. This seamless blending of shapes symbolises unity and intimacy, while still allowing each figure’s posture and gesture to remain distinct. The man’s stance conveys quiet strength, while the woman’s form radiates warmth and softness.

From head to toe, the sculpture flows in graceful vertical lines, guiding the viewer’s eye upward to the gentle meeting of their faces. The bronze surface, rich with natural patina, enhances the sense of depth and adds warmth to the scene. Smooth contours contrast with delicate transitions where the figures connect, creating a visual rhythm that echoes the closeness they share.

The piece’s slim proportions and elongated forms lend it an air of elegance, while the subtle merging of their bodies transforms a simple embrace into a timeless symbol of love. IL Bacio balances figurative clarity with abstract harmony, inviting viewers to experience both the physical connection and the emotional depth between the two figures.
