The artist shows that the ends of the earth is both at hand and inaccessible.
It is with humour that the artist views the man who has always dreamed of conquering, discovering, going to the end of the world, and who often has difficulty reaching his own feet, knowing himself.
Isabel Miramontes gives each of her sculptures a soul of his own. Each figure carries within it a message delivered by a movement, a posture, an expression. To achieve this near perfection, Isabel Miramontes shapes the material, lightens it, softens it, bares it, works the curves until reaching this subtle and powerful balance.
