Description
Explore the world of the Constantin Totems by Tatiana Queiroz, a tribute to the legendary Romanian sculptor Constantin Brâncusi, whose pioneering work reshaped the landscape of modern sculpture. Inspired by Brâncusi’s quest to distil form to its geometric essence, Queiroz channels his visionary spirit into her creations, seamlessly blending time-honoured craftsmanship with contemporary design aesthetics.
Each Constantin Totem is an artistic marvel, crafted from soapstone—a material celebrated for its natural porosity, rich textures, and colour palette. Queiroz masterfully shapes the soapstone into striking geometric forms, emphasising clean lines, harmonious proportions, and a minimalist elegance that resonates with Brâncusi’s iconic style. The inclusion of carbon steel ornaments introduces an intriguing contrast and a sense of movement, elevating the visual and tactile experience of these modern sculptures.
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.
The Constantin Totems are a celebration of the enduring influence of Brâncusi, a tribute that marries the past with the present, and art with function. These exquisite pieces are destined to become the centrepiece of any space, infusing your décor with a touch of modern elegance and a profound connection to the rich legacy of one of the most influential sculptors of the 20th century.
