Description

“Take My Heart” is a poetic expression of pure, selfless love—an offering of one’s deepest emotions without hesitation or fear. In this bronze and gold-plated sculpture, a male figure lifts a woman into the air with strength and grace, presenting her with a small red heart that symbolizes the act of giving love freely. The woman, elevated and radiant in a vivid red dress, reaches gently toward the heart, capturing a moment of trust, joy, and emotional vulnerability. This intimate scene reflects a powerful message: love, when shared honestly, becomes an act of both strength and surrender.

True to Maximos’ signature style, the figures are minimalistic and faceless, allowing viewers to project their own experiences onto the sculpture. Crafted in bronze and finished with a radiant gold plating, the piece radiates warmth and elegance. The red elements—the dress and heart—serve as emotional focal points, drawing attention to the themes of passion and affection. Set on a polished white marble base, the upward movement of the composition evokes both lightness and emotional elevation. “Take My Heart” is a timeless symbol of romantic devotion, beautifully balancing vulnerability and strength in a single sculptural gesture.
