Il Bacio (Medium) by Maria Bayardo, Resin, Edition of 8, 180cm high by 40cm wide by 36cm deep,  love, man, woman, romance, sculpture

This piece by Maria Bayardo is a striking figurative sculpture that captures the tenderness and passion of a loving embrace. Standing 180 cm tall and cast in polished black resin, this limited edition piece (edition of 8) blends emotional intimacy with sculptural elegance.

The sculpture depicts a man and a woman wrapped around one another in a timeless moment of closeness. Their forms are simplified and elongated, with flowing, minimalist lines that strip away detail to focus purely on connection and feeling. While the figures remain abstract, the emotion they convey is immediate and universal, love, warmth, and unity.

The polished resin surface gives the piece a high-gloss black finish, which enhances its sleek, modern aesthetic. Light reflects cleanly off the curves and contours, adding depth and dimension without distracting from the sculpture’s essence. Easy to maintain, this material ensures the piece retains its elegance both indoors and outdoors.

Il Bacio (Medium) brings a calm and affectionate energy to any setting. It’s ideal as a centrepiece for a romantic garden, contemporary home, or public venue such as a wedding space. Its graceful form and powerful symbolism make it a meaningful gift for anniversaries or weddings, and a beautiful reminder of connection in any collection.

Bayardo’s sculpture is both timeless and contemporary, a celebration of love rendered with striking simplicity.
