At the heart of Maderna’s work lies an examination of the human being. Her primary focus is the visualisation of the inner self, of feelings, emotions and shared human sentiments. She does this by eliminating any elements that are not directly relevant to the expression she is seeking to achieve. Although the artist largely draws on her own impressions and experiences, her works always contain familiar situations and fundamental sentiments that are common to all people. Thus, this bronze work also reflects at least one human situation.
