The sculpture "Natumo" by Antonine de Saint Pierre is a striking metal artwork that blends strength and grace. Created in cut steel, it features a symmetrical, abstract form reminiscent of a winged figure or totem. The surface is intricately pierced with floral and geometric patterns, giving it a lace-like delicacy despite its robust material. The figure’s dynamic posture suggests movement and vitality, while the ornamental motifs introduce a lyrical, almost spiritual quality. It’s a celebration of form, balance, and symbolic femininity. Antonine de Saint Pierre was born in 1974 in the Paris region, where she still lives and works. Deeply influenced by the sculptors of the 1950s and 60s, their legacy continues to inspire her large-scale steel creations. Originally crafted for her own home, Antonine’s sculptures and bas-reliefs soon caught the attention of gallerists and antique dealers, who encouraged her to create more works for exhibition. Through this process, the artist found her voice—developing an elegant style that reimagines femininity and asserts a distinctive sculptural language in cut metal. Over time, she gradually moved away from the direct influence of her early inspirations to embrace her own artistic identity.
