Fountains

A river seems to rise from the earth and trace an organic architecture in the air — a living palace where water reveals its intimate resonances: radiance, luminescence, and music.

The fountains are born from a desire to create a magical artifact — a form that reveals the vital dimension of flowing water. Water, through its mere presence, soothes and restores. It naturally generates an aesthetic experience through its resonance with the human body, inviting the viewer to surrender and enter into osmosis with its gentle gravitational pull.

The sculpture engages in this dialogue: its lines embrace and enhance every aspect of water, just as a riverbed instinctively follows the movement of its current, allowing it to radiate and invigorate space.

Crafted in bronze, the sculpture unfolds in an organic form of ascending curves and flowing spirals, evoking by turns an animal figure, an inhabited mountain, or an oriental architecture. The play of falling water amplifies the movement: flowing and cascading, the water captures and diffracts light, while a fine mist causes the whole to shimmer with vibration.

The fountain’s gentle, enveloping murmur invites full sensory immersion. The sculpture becomes the embodiment of the spirit of water, celebrating its inspiring and calming power. It also reminds us of the precious and fragile nature of this essential element.

In the world of Gautier Ferrero, the fountains are beings of fluidity — sensitive forms born from inner flow, intended to transmit to the viewer an echo of that inner jubilation.
