La Pioniera is a sculpture – created by the artist Raffaella Brusaglino – that represents the profile of a woman bent over to observe with wonder what grows from the earth and rises among the tufts of uncultivated grass represented by a removable flower made of metal, paints and resins that are always different, as are the elements in nature.
Laser-cut sculptures that are always identical in shape, but each time different due to the unpredictable use of materials: they represent a dialogue between nature and the human body played on the variation of proportions in a metaphysical and poetic dimension.
The reading of the material is destabilized by the chromatic variations and refers to something else by association of ideas, bringing the work to a broader semantic extension that concerns the moral and spiritual aspect of the relationship between human beings and nature.
