Elsie Wunderlich produces a series of works in bronze where the essence of the form is given by abstraction, full of ancient spirituality, which refers to natural or supernatural entity totemizzata. The old magic bronze, characterized by a dark patina on the surface, add an aura of mystery and intimacy with the works, which can be encoded as monuments aimed at recovering primordial expressiveness. The bronze, also, with the passage of time acquires a similar color to the vegetation and in this way the artist, with the use of this material, He can slavishly imitating nature and thus create a new comparison between training processes natural and those linked to the artistic.
The sculptures have a pyramid shape tapered at the base while the upper part is present in a conformation that recalls the natural elements of the leaves.
At the top, there is a face that blends with the crown of a tree, or sometimes located inside the petals of a flower. These sculptures show the man as the guardian of nature and in a position of inferiority before the greatness of the latter, only art can groped a symbiotic union.
