Giraffe Woman, 1960

This bronze sculpture represents a draped Venus from the Hellenistic period.

The head, perched atop an elongated neck disproportionate to the rest of the body, reflects the surrealist movement of which the artist claimed to be a direct heir.

Here, the woman's belly is an empty drawer with an open casing, symbolizing the origin of life.

This is a manifestation of the unconscious as envisioned by Freud, a theme dear to the Catalan artist.
