Description

“On My Way To You” by Maximos a playful and poetic scene that captures the innocence and anticipation of love. A gold-plated bronze woman sits gracefully atop a whimsical red mushroom—shaped like a heart—waiting patiently. From the opposite end of the sculpture, a man on a vintage-style scooter speeds toward her, his red scarf flowing in the wind. The distance between them becomes a symbol of longing, movement, and the journey we take toward connection. The mushroom’s heart shape is no accident—it anchors the piece as a symbol of love, rooted in nature and fantasy.

Maximos brings this narrative to life through his signature minimalist style, using faceless bronze figures to express universal emotions through gesture and form. The sculpture’s playful yet romantic tone is accentuated by the vibrant red elements—the heart-shaped mushroom and fluttering scarf—against the simplicity of the polished white marble base. With “On My Way To You,” Maximos merges whimsy with emotional depth, creating a scene that feels at once imaginative and entirely human: a visual love letter to the journey of meeting someone who holds your heart.
