Tango of Angels
#80. (17 in / 43 cm)
Two angels are dancing the tango. Their steps are impeccable. The woman’s head is bowed slightly, her eyes half closed and her left leg wrapped around her partner’s hips. The man is looking at her. Powerful and solid, he is holding her up. He is the strength and the dynamism of the sculpture; she is the sensual and ethereal.
All couples have ups and downs of course, but sacred moments, when one person wholly belongs to the other, also exist. At such times, two very different beings live in positive symbiosis, not by feeding off one another, but by invigorating and listening to the other. Nothing can come between them then. That is how two entities who are, and will remain, very different, become one and can perform a perfect dance: the Tango of Angels!
And we watch, thrilled by the very existence of this perfection.
Anecdote
One day, totally by chance, I experienced love at first sight without any consequences whatsoever. This meeting nonetheless touched me because while making this sculpture, I realized that for some strange reason, the male angel had that man’s face!
