Em is a portrait of my mother composed of three themes: her favorite colors, what she loves above all else, her Western and Chinese astrological themes, and her favorite flower, the Forget-me-not. The sculpture is made of resin and is inlaid with optical fibers; it is a unique technique in the world practiced only by Sculi. It is registered with INPI. The sculpture is part of the Cosmomorphism movement, which aims to bring together several works within the same work. Here, it is applied in layers, which are expressed through a composition of shapes, pictorial drawings made with pigments, and light drawings embedded in the material.
Sculi — Contemporary Sculptor Sculi is a contemporary French sculptor whose work explores the relationships between form, color, and light. At first glance, his sculpture may appear abstract. However, it does not seek abstraction for its own sake. On the contrary, Sculi attempts to give a visible and material existence to that which, by nature, has no form: feelings, energy, moods, tensions, and inner movements. He gives form to abstraction. Matter then becomes a language. Volumes assemble, confront, or balance each other; colors modify their perception; light passes through, reveals, or transforms the sculpture depending on the space and the viewer. Thus, the work is never just made of matter. It is born from the encounter between forms, colors, and light. It is from this research that Cosmomorphism emerges, an artistic approach developed by Sculi. In Cosmomorphism, sculpture is not thought of as a fixed form, but as a set of interacting forces. A color can extend a volume, a light can reveal another, a shadow can create a new form. Depending on the viewing angle, light intensity, or environment, the work transforms and reveals different perceptions. This permanent transformation is an integral part of the sculpture. Through his works, Sculi thus seeks to make the invisible perceptible: to give a body to an emotion, a volume to an energy, a color to a mood, a presence to what until then only existed in feeling. His sculptures lie at the border of the material and the immaterial, the visible and the invisible, the real and the imaginary. Cosmomorphism is born from this assembly of forms, colors, and light, brought together to create a new reality. Giving form to abstraction. Making the invisible visible.
