"This sculpture is an abstract depiction of the notion of embracing life," explains Anamaria Vieira. "With self love and self care one can best achieve harmony with the outside world." The Brazilian artist uses her artistry to convey a powerful message of self-love and of valuing one's own life. Working with bronze, she sculpts the abstract image of a person with arms lovingly wrapped around herself. The sculpture is mounted on a black granite base.
Titled "Abraçando a vida" in Portuguese.

I bought this as an anniversary gift for my husband at a time when we really needed to reconnect with one another. i spent a long time hunting for a piece of art that would show unity, compassion, passion, and affection, but without being cutesy or involving a heart-shape. This really struck a cord, and seemed to strike my husband as well. It now sits on our coffee table in our high traffic TV room, and i see it every day.
