Marble sculpture, hand-carved, unique work.
The largest work in this group, Le baiser d'une rose blooms outward into thick, rolling petals that spiral around a deep central hollow. Hand-carved from white marble veined with soft grey, its full-blown folds gather and overlap like a rose caught at the height of opening, yet read, too, as lips folding into a kiss. Where her smaller floral works stay frilled and airy, here Claessens lets the form swell to voluptuous, generous fullness, each petal polished to catch light along its curve. A monumental and unique work: the kiss of a rose made eternal in stone.
