Artist Comments
Two bronze figures reach for each other against a red wooden panel. Artist Yelitza Diaz conveys the message behind the strength of adoration. "This piece has been inspired by the full moon that enchants the senses and inspires love," says Yelitza. "It moves us with passion overcoming all obstacles. This work represents the human being that advances towards the goal with success."

About the Artist
Born in Venezuela, Yelitza Diaz;s life has been wrapped in the arts since childhood. She founded a gallery with her husband, who is also an artist, and was successful for many years until the crime and corruption in the local government became unbearable. They now live in South Carolina, where she makes art that explores human existentialism and the political and social developments of her native country. Her sculptures are made with ceramic techniques using a minimalist contemporary style. Fun fact: Yelitza designed the town seal for her native Municipio Falc;n in Venezuela.
