Mia Moreaux. “Lips” Bronze Sculpture with Brass Base, Belgium, 1990s

This intimate bronze sculpture by Belgian artist Mia Moreaux, titled “Lips”, captures a moment of sensual abstraction. The organic form, at once fluid and sculptural, suggests the softness of human features translated into a raw and tactile bronze surface. Resting on a cylindrical brass base, the piece balances warmth and solidity, inviting close observation. Both enigmatic and expressive, it exemplifies Moreaux’s exploration of form as emotion, where figurative suggestion meets material strength.
