Lioness

Lioness by Davide Rivalta is strategically placed on the edge of a hill, evoking a powerful sense of guidance, resilience, and silent authority. With her gaze fixed on the horizon, the lioness appears as a sentinel: anchored, alert, and composed. Nearby, Rivalta’s Lion sculpture seems to follow in her path, reinforcing a subtle narrative of unity, strength, and mutual guardianship.

Together, they form a visual dialogue that transcends individual presence, embodying a shared purpose and protective spirit. Their placement in the landscape is no accident. It transforms the hill into a symbolic lookout, suggesting that these bronze creatures are not only watching over their territory but also inviting reflection on the role of wildlife in an increasingly urban world.

In line with the curatorial theme Echoes of Land, this harmonious staging blurs the line between nature and city, prompting a deeper awareness of the need to respect and integrate the wild into our environments, rather than push it away.
