Sweetness – by Catherine de Kerhor
Catherine de Kerhor’s “Douceur” is a bronze sculpture that perfectly embodies the delicacy and serenity of a moment of intimate reflection. Depicting a seated woman with her knees drawn up to her chest and her gaze lost in thought, this piece evokes a sense of inner peace and quiet contemplation. The subtly curled pose suggests both vulnerability and a deep self-confidence, as if she finds comfort in her own presence.
The treatment of the bronze, with its organic texture and patina nuances, adds a tactile dimension to the work, capturing the light in a way that emphasizes the soft curves of the female body. The finely sculpted details, from the facial features to the lines of the limbs, demonstrate the artist’s mastery in capturing human emotion and movement. The figure’s position, perched on a high plinth, gives the impression that she is suspended in time, offering a contemplative pause to the viewer.
Kerhor, true to his style, invites us with "Douceur" to an introspective journey, to the discovery of beauty in moments of calm and contemplation. The character's gentle but resolute expression recalls the quiet strength found in self-acceptance and in appreciating the little breaks that life offers us.
This sculpture is a celebration of femininity in all its complexity and grace. By incorporating "Softness" into your space, you not only bring a beautiful piece of art, but also a constant source of inspiration to embrace stillness and balance in your own life. It is ideal for those looking to add a touch of serenity and elegance to their surroundings.
