About the Item
Verdigris bronze figure suspended within a sculptural rusted iron orb offers a poetic meditation on confinement and transcendence. Caged Woman 2 (Ø 32 cm) by Aldonza features a slender Venus-inspired form—arms gently outstretched, eyes closed—crafted via traditional lost-wax casting and finished in a rich green patina. The surrounding cage of hand-forged iron rods, left to oxidize naturally, creates an organic lattice that both encloses and elevates the central bronze figure.
Aldonza’s “Caged Women” series draws on Paleolithic Venus iconography to explore the ancestral inequalities faced by women. Here, the interplay of smooth verdigris bronze and raw, rust-textured iron evokes earth’s elemental forces and the dual nature of vulnerability and resilience. Each iron orb is hand-welded, resulting in unique warp and twist patterns that frame the bronze form like a protective shell. The verdigris finish recalls ancient oxidation processes, reinforcing the dialogue between age-old myths and contemporary concerns.
Caged Woman 2 can be displayed alone on a low plinth or paired with its series counterparts as part of a cohesive installation. Collectors may acquire individual figures or commission the full “Caged Women” ensemble for a striking gallery installation. Presented in museum-quality condition, this piece ships in a custom wooden crate (35 × 35 × 35 cm, 6 kg packed) and arrives ready for secure display.

Óscar Aldonza Torres (b. 1976, Santiago de Compostela) is a sculptor and Sculpture Professor at EASD Mestre Mateo. He holds a Diploma in Volume Techniques from EASD Mestre Mateo, a BA in Fine Arts from the University of Seville, and an MA in Art Heritage Management from the University of Santiago de Compostela. Winner of the 1st Prize at the XIV Open-Air Sculpture Symposium in O Grove and 1st Accésit of the Francisco Asorey International Sculpture Prize (Cambados), his work has been presented in venues such as the Salon d’Automne in Paris, O Rectángulo de Ouro in Portugal, “Respostas sen preguntas” at Galería Sabor a Menta (Santiago de Compostela), and “Animalium” at the MIHL Museum (Lugo), among others. In his sculptural practice, Óscar Aldonza Torres positions the human figure as an intimate mirror, reflecting universal fears and inner doubts. His creative process—both impulsive and experimental—is underpinned by rigorous material research, allowing forms to emerge organically as each work evolves. Predominantly working in series, Aldonza Torres embraces ambivalence and conceptual openness, crafting open-ended narratives that invite viewers to engage emotionally—ranging from identification to repulsion and intrigue—and to complete the dialogue with their own perceptions.

Modern Bronze "Balancing Woman" (Mujer Equilibrista), Style Abigail Varela
"Balancing Woman" (Mujer Equilibrista)—Modern Bronze Sculpture of a Female Acrobat in the Style of Abigail Varela (Venezuelan, b. 1948)
A graceful and expressive modern bronze sculpture depicting a female acrobat in suspension, rendered in the stylized, voluptuous form associated with Venezuelan visual artist Abigail Varela. This commanding yet whimsical figure, titled Mujer Equilibrista ("Balancing Woman"), evokes themes of strength, poise, and femininity through its abstracted anatomy and lyrical posture.
The bronze woman, with exaggerated hips, elongated limbs, and a serene upturned face, hangs by her hands from a detachable 19-inch diameter metal hoop. The sculpture is composed of two separate elements: the circular ring and the figure, which is cast in dark-patinated bronze with a smooth, tactile surface. The full composition measures 48 inches high by 19 inches wide and 7 inches deep; the bronze figure itself measures 27" H x 7" W x 5" D.
Striking both in silhouette and scale, this work reflects the influence of Varela’s celebrated archetypes, honoring feminine power, gravity, and elegance. Ideal for indoor suspension from ceiling or wall-mounted hook.
Unmarked. In excellent vintage condition with minor wear consistent with age.
A powerful statement of the school of Abigail Varela & modern Latin American sculpture...
