"Mathilde et Hillias" is an original bronze sculpture by Bruno Catalano from his famous Les Voyageurs series. In this emblematic work, the artist features a fascinating duo composed of a female and a male figure. These two travelers in motion, suitcases in hand, are characterized by a deliberately absent section of their bodies—a break in the material that has become the artist’s international signature. The great uniqueness of this piece lies in its superb chromatic range: a pastel color palette that brings a poetic softness and unprecedented light to the composition.
Through these sculpted voids that seem to interact, Bruno Catalano explores the themes of identity, uprooting, and the harmony of the couple facing their journey. The spectacular balance of the sculpture relies here on the complementarity of the two figures: the man and the woman visually balance and respond to each other, a testament to the sculptor’s exceptional technical mastery in illustrating the strength of shared bonds.
Since 2004, Bruno Catalano's fragmented silhouettes have established themselves as a major reference in contemporary sculpture. Exhibited in cities such as Paris, New York, Venice, and Singapore, his works are now highly sought after by collectors worldwide. Mathilde et Hillias perfectly embodies this iconic series and represents a rare opportunity to acquire a magnificent bronze couple in pastel tones by Bruno Catalano.
