Vivianne Duchini’s bronzes are defined by intimacy, restraint, and emotional clarity. Her work approaches the horse as living presence, shaped through classical technique and quiet sensitivity.
Working primarily in bronze through the lost-wax casting tradition, Duchini creates equine sculptures that unite anatomical precision with felt presence. Her horses often appear mid-stride or mid-breath, poised between stillness and movement in a way that feels immediate without theatricality.
Her relationship to the equine subject is rooted in Argentine equestrian culture, where the horse carries both practical and symbolic significance. That intimacy is visible in the work. Small shifts in posture, gesture, and musculature convey not just realism, but warmth, breath, and character.
What distinguishes Duchini is her ability to hold realism and feeling together. Her sculptures are disciplined and formally resolved, yet never cold. They invite proximity and reward slow observation.
Medium - Sculpture || Materials - Bronze, lost-wax casting technique
Dimensions - Intimate to mid-scale works well suited for interior placement
Duchini works through the traditional lost-wax casting process and maintains a meticulous hand-finished approach to surface and detail. This tactile discipline allows bronze to remain responsive and warm, with each sculpture carrying the trace of careful making and sustained material attention.
These bronzes are best experienced at close range, where surface refinement and suspended gesture become most apparent. They hold space quietly and reveal emotional nuance over time. In person, their scale encourages an intimate relationship with form.
