"La Baigneuse" captures the delicate essence of a fleeting moment, where memory and presence intertwine. The figure, clad in an early 20th-century swimsuit, gently tests the water with her toe, as if hesitating between past and present, between reality and reverie. Her fragmented form, a signature of Miramontes, evokes the ephemeral nature of existence—only an imprint of the body remains, like a memory suspended in time.

Isabel Miramontes infuses each of her sculptures with a soul of its own. Through movement, posture, and expression, she conveys deep emotion. With masterful precision, she sculpts, refines, and lightens the material, achieving a balance of strength and fragility that makes her work so uniquely captivating.
