Water and flowers

The elements of nature are in constant dialogue, united by the vital energy that gives movement to everything. This is the message conveyed by Arlindo’s work. 

The element of water is placed at the top, stirred by the wind, connected to both sky and earth. The latter takes on the sinuous forms of a female body, encircled at the waist by four flowers whose red colour recalls that of the base, which itself becomes part of the sculpture. 

The forms are pure and simplified, inviting reflection on the importance of symbols.
