Description

The Constantin Totem: 2 by Tatiana Queiroz pays homage to the Romanian sculptor Constantin Brâncusi, whose groundbreaking work redefined modern sculpture. Inspired by Brâncusi’s pursuit of pure geometric form, Queiroz blends traditional craftsmanship with contemporary design.
Each Constantin Totem is carefully crafted from soapstone, a material known for its rich textures and natural colours. Queiroz shapes the stone into geometric forms with clean lines and balanced proportions, capturing a minimalist elegance that echoes Brâncusi’s style. The addition of carbon steel accents adds contrast and a sense of movement.
The soapstone’s natural variations, from soft beige to vibrant blue and silvery grey, give each totem its own unique character. While unsuitable for use with liquids, the Constantin Totems stand as refined sculptures, embodying timeless principles of geometry and form.
These pieces honour Brâncusi’s legacy, blending art and function in a way that feels both modern and rooted in tradition. The Constantin Totem: 2 offers a subtle yet sophisticated addition to your décor, connecting past and present through thoughtful design.
*The natural variations in soapstone—from soft, subtle beige to vibrant blue and shimmering silvery grey—imbue each totem with a unique character and depth. While soapstone’s porous nature renders it unsuitable for use with liquids, its inherent beauty and refined design make the Constantin Totems more than just decorative objects—they are expressions of artistic vision, embodying the timeless principles of geometry and form.
