Micheline is a striking contemporary sculpture by Gregory Castiglia, crafted in polished stainless steel and composed of approximately 3,500 assembled nuts. The human figure, elongated and rising upward with arms lifted, conveys a powerful sense of elevation, confidence and inner strength.

Through its openwork structure, the sculpture creates a compelling graphic effect, allowing light and space to pass through the body. This transparency gives the figure a sense of lightness and movement, despite the industrial strength of the material. As the viewer moves around the sculpture, the perception constantly shifts, blurring the boundary between presence and absence.

Micheline embodies Castiglia’s distinctive approach to sculpture, where industrial elements are transformed into an expressive and sensual human form. The polished stainless steel surface captures and reflects light, enhancing the sculptural rhythm and reinforcing the impression of a living, breathing silhouette.

Suitable for both indoor and outdoor installation, Micheline stands as a bold contemporary statement for collectors, architects and designers seeking a work with strong visual impact and architectural resonance. Mounted on a 60 cm diameter base, the sculpture asserts its presence while maintaining an elegant and refined balance.

This work perfectly illustrates Art Thema Gallery’s commitment to presenting innovative contemporary sculpture, and marks a confident step into 2026 with the introduction of Gregory Castiglia’s work.
