Galina Stetco
Du Coeur À l'Esprit (From Heart to Mind) - contemporary, bronze indoor sculpture

2024

About the Item

Forged from bronze, this contemporary figurative indoor sculpture was made by Galina Stetco. The silhouette of a human bust has a hole where the heart is located and a metal ladder covers the hole that leads to the head. The ladder is designed to suggest the process of transforming the heart’s desire into an idea. A lone figure in red patina stands in a gap created in the head. Stetco’s figurative forms are often inspired by her experience as an architect but her chosen themes are influenced by an interest in the deeper questions in life. The title of the piece, ‘Du Coeur À l'Esprit’ means ‘from heart to mind‘ in French. “The sculpture represents human aspiration to transcend the limits of knowledge and existence. This character invites the observer to project themselves, pursue their own dreams, and write their own story.” Galina Stetco Galina Stetco was born in Moldova in 1975. She first attended art school at the tender age of 10 and received her first diploma when she was just 13. In 2000, she graduated from the Technical University of Moldova with a degree in architecture. She first emigrated to Canada in 2003 and has since lived in the Montreal area. In 2011 she dedicated herself full-time to working as an artist. Her work can be found in private collections in Canada, the US, and Moldova.

Cumulus VI Revisited - figurative, contemporary, stainless steel sculpture
By Ania Biczysko

This contemporary outdoor sculpture is forged from stainless steel to resemble clouds. In this elegant sculpture by Ania Biczysko, fine ribbons of stainless steel overlap in circles forming a cloud-like structure mounted on a tripod stand. When viewed from all sides, the sky is reflected in the luminescent quality of the highly polished steel. "Clouds for me represent reaching out for hopes and dreams. They appear in ever-changing shapes and light however elusive and untouchable, we find them present in our everyday lives. Like our dreams, they guide us to something bigger and allude to an idea of pure beauty."
