Polished Bronze Sculpture of Female Figure from Brazil, "Rise"

In her polished bronze sculpture, Brazilian artist Ana Lopes uses fluid lines and a gleaming golden tone to present an empowering image of a woman saluting the new day. Kneeling yet rising, her outstretched arms reaching back but also up towards the sky, the female figure expresses the bright promise of a sun-filled morning when the world is new and everything shines with endless possibilities. The sculpture is made by hand and signed by the artist.

Titled Despertar in Portuguese.
