The "woman" is reproduced to infinity because for the artist she represents the infinite.

For the artist, the composition is not limited to bronze. Joan Artigas Planas situates his work in space. The sculptures of Joan Artigas Planas are a combination of figurative art and abstract art in which he mainly works with two materials, namely bronze and steel.
