L'Élancement féminin
A feminine silhouette revealed through the movement of a ribbon of carbon and gold.
Presentation of the Artwork
L’Élancement féminin is a contemporary sculpture exploring femininity through movement, curves, and light.
A long ribbon of forged carbon fiber rises through space, twisting and unfolding to reveal the contours of a feminine figure. Its flowing lines suggest a silhouette without ever fully defining it, inviting the viewer to imagine the forms emerging from the movement.
The dark, mineral-like textures of the carbon contrast with the warm radiance of gold, creating a sculpture that is simultaneously powerful, weightless, and delicate.

The Story Behind the Artwork
Femininity Revealed Through Movement
With L’Élancement féminin, Roland Delsemme seeks to evoke the female form without directly reproducing its anatomy.
The ribbon becomes a living line. It unfolds, tightens, and opens, gradually revealing a feminine silhouette through its flowing curves.
The golden surfaces emerge within the movement, like light revealed through the material itself. They guide the eye upwards, from the base of the sculpture to its highest point.
The artwork explores the balance between presence and absence, strength and delicacy, movement and sensuality.
Forged Carbon Fiber: Strength and Lightness
Forged carbon fiber plays an essential role in Roland Delsemme's artistic practice.
Traditionally valued for its technical properties, this material is transformed into a sculptural medium with an almost mineral-like appearance.
Its strength and lightness make it possible to create an elongated, flowing ribbon whose curves seem to defy gravity.
The gilded surfaces enrich the dark carbon, producing contrasts that shift with the lighting and the viewer's perspective.
This dialogue between contemporary materials and precious finishes is one of the defining characteristics of the artist's work.
A One-of-a-Kind Sculpture
L’Élancement féminin is an original artwork, handcrafted in Roland Delsemme's studio.
Every curve, variation in texture, and finishing detail contributes to its unique identity.
Through its vertical movement and interplay of light, the sculpture creates an elegant presence in any space while maintaining a remarkable sense of lightness.
