This sculptural piece unfolds abstraction between the composition of the satyr, whose bearded face seems to unveil itself carved on an element on the left side of the piece, and seeking to rescue the female figure, molded in the softness of two curved legs and a trunk on the right. Overall, there is textural and formal diversity, combined in aesthetic intentions of the debt of abstract expressionism.
