Marble sculpture, hand-carved, unique work.
'L'âme d'une fleur' by Eva Claessens is a marble sculpture measuring 120 × 115 × 39 cm. The work presents a dense, low-lying cluster of open, cup-shaped forms with ruffled, serrated edges — their concave interiors catching warm ivory tones against the otherwise matte white surface. The mass reads simultaneously as magnified botanical matter and abstracted human tissue, a tension central to Claessens' practice. Known for her figurative paintings of the nude body, Claessens consistently transposes those two-dimensional investigations into three-dimensional form, using sculpture as an extension — and a new canvas — of the same inquiry. Here, the body is not depicted but implied through the softness of curved recesses and the biological rhythm of repeating, slightly irregular forms crowding outward from a shared core.

What is marble?
Marble is a rare and expensive metamorphic rock composed of recrystallized limestone. It has been used for centuries to create statues, decorative floors, and walls due to its translucency and durability. Marble is ideal for both free-standing statues and relief sculptures. When carving, the material is chiseled away in small increments to achieve the desired form.
