- About my artwork
- The sculptures of Edelweiss are a tribute to the force of nature in connection with Mother Earth. The sculptor’s love of art is rooted in her home, Valencia, but also incorporates the Castilian influence of Toledo, from her mother, and Basque elements contributed by her father. Readings, particularly in history also inform Edelweiss’s work, as do her travels to Oriental, Celtic and Egyptian cultures. Her sculptures draw from Classical, Egyptian and mythological traditions to create women who exemplify the majestic, powerful, and dignified aspects of the feminine. Reminiscent of women –centered Minoan art, Edelweiss does not shy away from the intimacy of the female form, but revels in its beauty. At the same time, she incorporates images from nature, such as a cascade of flowers representing hair.
Edelweiss is inspired by the eternal cycle of life, so often associated with women because of their ability to produce life and the trisquelion symbol, representing energy and the evocation of fire, water and nature.
Edelweiss’s lively organic sculptures made of wood, clay … make direct connections between humanity and nature. Selecting figures such as the dream of Gaia (mother earth) or the Celtic Lady (woman´s willpower, knowledge from past to the future) for her subjects, the artist draws on maternal or origin myths of different cultures around the world to explore these themes.
Edelweiss stresses that her “sensitivity toward mother earth and the great mistery she contains” is of primary importance to her work our mother earth and its conservation
