Memorie is a bronze sculpture of a girl.
It is part of a serie called Los Niños y Sus Amigos Imaginarios (The children and their imaginary friends).
It is a portrait of a daughter’s friend, a beautiful, sensitive child. The serie is special tribute to Children’s nature, to their capacity to see through this reality, to maintain the innocence, to have faith in the impossible, to always hope, be spontaneous, be authentic.

The patina is an experimental one: the artist lets the acids work randomly, regulating only the temperature during the patina process.
