Sergio Capellini was born in Bologna in 1942. Visiting museums and galleries he appreciates the work of Medardo Rosso, Manzù, Marini, Greco and Fazzini. Self-taught, he starts to model with clay and wax; the materials most congenial to him are bronze, marble and wood. His sculpture is figurative but developed and conceived in a different way according to the subjects chosen by him; the ethereal female figures, launched in harmonious, vibrating movements; the male figures, suffering, astonished, desperate, some stuck in the last moments of their lives; the mythical animals, enveloped in a magical, transcendent aura, where movement is always a dominant motif; the sacred themed figures are a perfect incarnation of a message of peace, faith and love.
“Simona posing lying down” strikes for its charm emanated by all women by Capellini; the elegance, sensuality of the posture, the rhythm of the legs and arms, the long neck and the harmonious head, back curved. It is made of pink Portuguese marble that recalls the bond with the earth; the natural veins make it almost alive, in movement. The woman who is born from this matter is a woman who lives, who transmits her thoughts, her memories, speaks, in the apotheosis of her beauty. There is, in his work, the search for a synthesis, a fluidity that goes beyond the old canons to become abstraction.
