Placidez by Maria Bayardo, Resin, Edition, 60cm high by 200cm wide by 95cm deep, Body, Women, People, Nude sculpture

Placidez by Maria Bayardo is a minimalistic resin sculpture measuring 60 cm high, 200 cm wide, and 95 cm deep. This edition captures the serene elegance of a reclining female figure.

The woman lies gracefully on her side, creating a gentle, flowing line across the sculpture. Her hand rests lightly on her head, suggesting relaxation and calm. Meanwhile, her hips lift subtly, introducing a sense of movement and balance. This simple pose emphasizes the natural curves of her body, allowing light and shadow to accentuate the contours.

Bayardo abstracts the form just enough to focus on elegance rather than intricate detail. The smooth resin surface enhances the sculpture’s purity, giving it a soft, almost ethereal presence. Despite its minimalism, the figure conveys a sense of intimacy and quiet strength.

The wide horizontal composition encourages the eye to follow the full length of her body, creating a rhythm that is both peaceful and engaging. Transitional lines flow from head to toe, guiding viewers along her pose and enhancing the sculpture’s harmonious form.

Placidez transforms a simple reclining figure into a study of balance, serenity, and subtle movement. Through abstraction and minimalism, Bayardo evokes both calm and grace, inviting viewers to experience a quiet, contemplative connection with the figure.
