Half Torso by MIROGI

In "Half Torso," MIROGI captures the raw essence of the human form, emphasizing the strength and vulnerability of a fragmented body. This 43 x 21 x 30 cm bronze sculpture reveals a headless, armless, and legless male torso rising from a metal base. Through this work, the artist explores the beauty of human anatomy, not as a whole, but as an isolated element, a fragment that tells its own story.

The rough surface of the bronze, carefully patinated, captures the light in a subtle way, accentuating each tense muscle and each sensual curve of the torso. MIROGI, true to his fascination with anatomy and movement, plays here with imperfections and fragmentation, recalling classical sculptures broken by time, while giving them a modernity and a unique emotional power.

The choice to present only a part of the body is destabilizing, it pushes us to complete the image in our minds, to imagine the individual in his entirety. Each crack, each contour seems to tell a story of struggle, resistance and ephemeral beauty, a beauty that lies precisely in its incompleteness. This partial absence intrigues and captivates, forcing us to contemplate the transitory nature of human form and existence.

To acquire MIROGI’s “Half Torso” is to invite into your home a work that challenges, a celebration of the human form in all its fragmentary and poetic glory. It is a testament to art’s ability to capture not only the appearance, but also the essence of what makes us human.
