A Cold Wintry Change, Angelo Bordonar, Born 1951, Italy, White Marble, 110 cm wide, Unique piece

Angelo Bordonari’s A Cold Wintry Change, a delicate yet powerful white marble sculpture, captures the stillness and stark beauty of winter.

At the heart of the composition, a stylized leaf, exquisitely carved and gently curved, serves both as a seat and a symbolic resting place. In doing so, it offers a moment of pause within the natural cycle of decay and renewal.

Furthermore, Bordonari’s use of white marble reinforces these ideas. Cool and luminous, the stone amplifies the purity and restraint often associated with winter. Notably, he contrasts highly polished areas with raw, unfinished surfaces, creating a quiet tension between refinement and nature, as well as permanence and fragility.

With its 110 cm width, the sculpture commands a grounded, stable presence. Rather than remaining purely visual, it invites viewers to engage physically and emotionally, perhaps even to sit, to reflect, and to experience the cold stillness that the stone so vividly conveys.

Ultimately, A Cold Wintry Change extends Bordonari’s ongoing exploration of the profound connection between humanity and the natural world. By capturing a fleeting seasonal moment in enduring marble, he transforms it into a lasting meditation on change. In the end, the work remains rooted in classical tradition while embracing contemporary reflections on solitude, transformation, and time.
