01The work

About the work

In this work, Rafael Heredia Cuevas condenses the face that symbolises the loss of memory into a refined volume of restrained lines and great plastic solidity, in which every plane has been pared down until only what is needed for the sculpture to speak truthfully remains.

The patinated stoneware brings warmth, depth and an especially pleasing presence to a space, reinforcing the sense of intimacy suggested by the title. It is a piece that invites contemplation and finds its strength in the beauty of simplicity, in that rare virtue of moving the viewer without any formal excess.

Adding “Lost Memory” to a collection means acquiring a work with identity, capable of enriching an interior with meaning and character. The buyer acquires not only a sculpture of notable aesthetic value, but also a piece that opens a space for evocation, silence and personal memory. That is one of the most valuable qualities of Rafael Heredia Cuevas's sculpture: turning the simplification of line into a form of permanence, so that the work accompanies, suggests and keeps growing in the eyes of those who live with it.
