The 21st of February 2021 marked 145 years since the birth of the great sculptor, Constantin Brîncuși, whose works and lifestyle are an important source of inspiration for me. As a celebration and tribute, I created a visual reinterpretation of one of his greatest artworks: “Coloana Infinitului”.

“Hailed as one of the great works of twentieth-century sculpture, Endless Column by Constantin Brancusi (1876-1957) was commissioned by the Women’s League of Gorj to honor the soldiers who defended Târgu-Jiu against a German force during World War I. The sculpture is a 98-foot-high (30 meter) column of zinc, brass-clad, cast-iron modules threaded onto a steel spine, and is part of a three-sculpture ensemble along with two travertine monuments called Gate of the Kiss and Table of Silence. Despite the ensemble’s artistic importance, it was considered degenerate art during the Communist era. A failed attempt to pull the column down left it tilted and cracked, exposing its interior to the elements. Conservation of Brancusi’s Endless Column resulted in the restoration of its original intended aesthetic and its important protective finish. The ensemble again serves as a historic site in Romania and a reminder of the famous sculptor’s genius.” (source)
