Caterina Zacchetti
Sculpture works
The main subject of the poetics of Caterina Zacchetti’s sculptures is ‘woman’:
“My subjects take immediate shape when the clay falls into my hands – and in that very moment I drift into a second hemisphere”.
“Bodies that exude life are gradually generated by the soft moulding of clay; the gentle curve of a breast, broad buttocks, a contorted torso… and then I suddenly see them before me, as though ravished by sensual visions”.
“Bodies that exude life are gradually generated by the soft moulding of clay; the gentle curve of a breast, broad buttocks, a contorted torso… and then I suddenly see them before me, as though ravished by sensual visions”.
The beauty of these shapely, relaxed women is enthralling; supple, yet sensual curves outline female bodies. Clothing is nowhere to be seen: women are dreamers. The legs, however, are sturdy – they symbolize that these women are strong, independent, resolute, and full of the energy that one needs when facing life. These full-figured bodies evoke a sense of wellbeing, pleasure, and happiness. A woman with wide hips acts as a symbol of love and beauty. Her sculptures have nothing in common with Botero’s dismal Muses and in fact convey quite the opposite.
