maria de FAYKOD

 

sculptor

    Malraux (…) had finally concluded that creation would perhaps tomorrow invent new links with transcendence.
     Maria de Faykod is a living witness of this connection with an immateriality overriding and explaining our ephemeral attempts.
     …One cannot understand her sculpture if one does not understand that under the superficial varnish of the world events she is seeking those fragile energies that are her very existence.
       …Shape in de Faykod is not in the first instance the shape of matter and the shapes of matter only are, on the contrary, the revelation to our senses of a shape that becomes real beyond sensitivity… - Michel Cazenave, France Culture

          …Led on by personal forces, Maria de Faykod expresses in her work a passion and a search for the absolute, of what is beyond the human and sensible reality that sets in her material those cosmic universal shapes surrounding us, form the universe and transcend our spirituality.

Her sculptures evoke the great art of the Renaissance

     On her hill at the end of the world…Maria de Faykod receives huge marble blocks that she carves alone with an unshakable energy and patience worthy of antique tradition. She refuses complacency, recuperation and the official art prevailing in this exhausted century.
She seems fragile but her talent measures up to her energy. She sculpts with her chisel a world that was thought to have been lost.
     A healthy mind in a healthy body, she is obsessed by the anatomy of what is beautiful.
No one has seen anything as impressive since the Renaissance. Her chisel striking Carrara marble evokes the speed of thought as well as new vibrations and is arousing the interest of many decision makers. Mark her name, Faykod, it might be landmark in the third Millennium.
