About the Item
Amena is a striking bronze sculpture epitomizing elegance and minimalism. The piece showcases a highly stylized female human figure, characterized by elongated limbs and an abstract form.
The figure stands tall with arms outstretched horizontally, evoking a sense of yoga inspired balance and poise. Despite its simplified features, Amena exudes a strong sense of presence and grace. The smooth, dark surface of the bronze reflects light subtly, enhancing its sleek and modern aesthetic. The base, a simple square platform, accentuates the sculpture's verticality.
In its abstraction, this piece invites viewers to explore themes of human form and expression through minimalism. Kallweit’s choice to omit detailed features allows for a universal representation, highlighting the beauty of form in its purest sense. This sculpture elegantly combines simplicity with profound visual impact.
Modelled on modern youthful postures but with a nod to the importance of heritage through the stylised Egyptian-influenced head.
Amena was made using a lost wax, or Cire Perdue, bronze casting technique. Nando shapes a wax model that is then submerged in ceramic. The ceramic is then placed in a furnace so that the wax melts to leave a cavity. Molten bronze is then poured into the cavity. Once cooled and hardened the ceramic is broken to retrieve the sculpture. To create the rest of the edition Kallweit makes a silicon mould of the first piece allowing the wax model to be recreated.
Amena is produced in an edition of 25 pieces. Nando hammers his mark into the base as well as stamping the edition number.

Nando Kallweit
Nando Kallweit is a German sculptor working in bronze and oak. As a young boy, he was inspired by the beauty and antiquity of a bust of Nefertiti housed in the Egyptian Museum of Berlin. After the fall of the Berlin Wall, his new-found freedoms allowed him to travel to Egypt and develop his belief in the basic strength and pride inherent in inhumanity. His sculptures seek to emphasize this through elongated forms and upright postures. He reduces the figures to simple gestures and movements creating sculptures with a wonderful interplay between the archaic and the modern; between art and design. Nando’s work has been exhibited across Europe and is held in many private collections. He has produced a number of large scale permanent installation pieces for German municipalities and museums.
