Maternità (Maternity)

Subtle and enigmatic, Lowell’s Maternity seems to be lifted upward by the new life it carries within its womb — an indissoluble bond with the harmony and logic of the universe. 

The stone appears silent and unyielding, yet from it rises a skeletal yet sensual form of femininity — hesitant to reveal itself, shy in its disclosure, yet incomparably full of an inner vital force. From within, the soul becomes the true measure of every step, every belief. 

It is a form in evolution, in which we perceive the movement of light and shadow, capable of revealing a different shape at every moment and unveiling itself only to those who truly wish to understand and look beyond the surface.

Ellis Lowell

Ellis Lowell was born in Jamaica and moved to the United States at a young age, where he acquired American citizenship. There he came into contact with the vibrant world of contemporary art, which enabled him to develop early on at an international level. 

After travelling to Italy for several exhibitions, he chose to settle in Trieste, where he still lives and works. He continues his successful exhibition activity, earning recognition from both audiences and critics in Italy and abroad.
