Description
Some kisses are fleeting. Others become eternal.
In , Paola Grizi transforms the tenderness of a kiss into a poetic encounter between two souls. Two faces emerge from the pages of a book, drawn towards one another in a moment of pure intimacy, where words fall silent and emotion speaks.
The delicate folds of the pages seem to breathe, as though love itself has taken shape within the sculpture. The softly textured surface, marked with traces of handwritten words, evokes the memories, promises and stories that make every love unique.
There is something profoundly moving in this embrace: two beings coming together, yet each preserving their own mystery. The sculpture speaks of tenderness, connection and the quiet courage of opening one's heart.
With its timeless beauty and deeply human emotion, is more than a sculpture. It is a celebration of love, a frozen moment of affection that continues to live in the imagination of whoever encounters it.
A poetic and intimate work for a collector who wishes to bring into their home an artwork filled with warmth, sensitivity and the enduring beauty of human connection.

Presentation
• Paola is an Italian artist born in Rome in 1968.
• Paola Grizi first became interested in art while she was still a child, worked with clay since she was born, mentored by her grandfather who was a famous Italian ceramist, painter and sculptor Rodolfo Ceccaroni, at work. Paola Grizi studied Classics in high school. She earned her degree in Italian Literature with first-class honors in the University of Rome "La Sapienza". After that, Paola Grizi embarked on a career in journalism, at the same time spending time on her art, working heavily with clay. But the desire to express herself artistically is stronger than anything else: Paola wants to shape the earth and manipulate the material. The talented journalist then becomes an artist. In 2003, she deepen her technique with Salavatore Rizzuti, professor of Sculputre of Palermo`s Accademy of fine arts.
• In fact her artistic interest reemerged strongly and was responsible for her choice to dedicate herself to sculpture. Her passion for writing will never cease to occupy her and to mix with the bronze that she works.Here, letters and human nature are intertwined and merged. Through her bronzes Paola gives us her dreams and ambitions, her fears and her nightmares. A hand, a face, a nose emerge from these bronze pages, with indecipherable characters. Are they there to break the mystery of history, to challenge the truths or to keep a secret?
• The Italian artist Paola Grizi focuses her research within the thin line that separates figurative from informal shapes. Inside this area she molds recognizable elements that emerge from abstract shapes.These are a representation of the unconscious, a step forward in understanding the inner world. This duplicity - figurative and informal - finds its meaning in the language, which creates a clear dichotomy through its production. Sometimes the faces emerge from the material are as epiphanies of the consciousness. In Paola Grizi`s terracotta works classical workmanship coexist with informal declination, giving movement to the work as a whole. Just like other works representing infants, her sculptures have to be interpreted as a birth of awareness.
• Paola enjoys international recognition. She has had numerous exhibitions in various Italian cities (Rome, Venice, Faenza, Florence, Milan, Pisa, Ferrara...). Whether in Italy, France, Spain, the Netherlands, Belgium, the USA and China, her work is rewarded by numerous prestigious awards.
