About The Artwork
Dante's Hymn to the Virgin in Divine Comedy’s Paradise-canto XXXIII begins with this paradoxical expression “Virgin mother daughter of your son”;during a holiday in France the artist had the opportunity of visiting the sanctuary of Lourdes where the Virgin Mary appeared to Bernadette in 1858; the day after, walking in the nearby forest, she found a wooden root laying in the undergrowth in which she immediately “saw” the image of a mother holding an infant that brought back to her mind the verse of Dante which all Italian children used to learn at school. The wooden root has been lightly polished, then a little bit of clay has been added to the natural reliefs where the outline of the two faces has been marked with color gold; the root is supported by a base made of clay; finally the whole sculpture has been painted and bright varnished.

My name is Luciana Chiusole, but I have also an artist’s name, Bezec, that was my father’s nickname. I have always been seeing in Nature, particularly in the logs, roots and branches of cut off trees, peculiar “forms” – often originated from my reading and traveling experiences – that I try to bring about making up the roots with clay, paper mache and other, to get the shape I have “seen” and eventually painting and varnishing it. Among my recent works, the “Mannequins” series has evolved from this approach, originated from reading about the ancient mythologies when I started “dreaming” of some roots and branches, I had found somewhere, as the distinctive features of a specific “God” or “Goddess” I had learned of.
