Estatua La Mariposa

Monuments

The sculpture "La Mariposa" was part of the exhibition of Manolo Valdés in the City of Arts and Sciences of Valencia and in the Place Vendôme in Paris. "La Mariposa" is an example of Valdés' way of working because it has its origin in an image he saw in New York's Central Park of a butterfly fluttering over a woman's head. Valdés took that image to his particular style based on dialogue with the history of art (the face of sculpture is based on Matisse's painting) and the appropriation of objects from everyday life.
