Rita by Damian Ramis

Rita is a statue done in the contemporary style by artist and sculptor Damian Ramis from Mallorca, Spain. The statue is colored in a deep golden rust finish and is a part of the DONA collection which was launched in 2022 at the Galería de Arte Contemporáneo in Palma de Mallorca.

“Stylized shapes, refined lines and a sensual rhythm in the volumes rise in this sculpture that wants to transcend matter in a passionate tribute to Rita Hayworth, one of the most emblematic women. Gilda’s dance is the driving passion behind one of my most excellent sculptures.”

The DONA collection

This unique, one of a kind collection is based on using the woman’s body as a pretext rather than as a reference. It is a collection of works that required the artist to push the essence of the female body to the limit, leaving aside traditional forms and anecdotal details.

Each of the pieces in the collection is based on a previous study, using photographs, drawings, studies of internal structures and movement, and focused on the analysis of volume in its purest forms.

The objective of the Dona series has been to transcend matter and achieve the extreme simplification of its shapes and volumes. In each sculpture you will find the essence of the female anatomy in essential lines that, united in space, suggest the movement, elegance and sensuality of the woman’s body, and transform it into an allegory of balance and a metaphor for life.
