Museum of Stainless Steel Sculptures Constantin Lucaci - "Spațiu & Lumină"

The "Constantin Lucaci" museum is located in the center of Bocșa Montană and includes 17 stainless steel sculptures created by one of the greatest European sculptors, Constantin Lucaci. The sculptures-metaphors are part of the cycle of works "Space and light". None of the sculptures were named, as the sculptor intended to let the visitor capture for himself, through his own filter of thought, the essence of each sculpture. What is known is the fact that Mr. Constantin Lucaci tried to include, in his creation, light, being called "the master of light":

“I have been obsessed in this life with the sculpting of light. But not light in the ordinary sense - the opposite of darkness, but light as an essence. The light that is the basis of the universe, because all the stars, all the stars are constructions of light. I sought to capture it and give it shape through metaphors." (Sgaverdia Dorina, 2008)

The pieces are carved in either zig-zag, spatial curves or star shapes in harmonious proportions. Among these stainless steel metaphors of light, you will also have the privilege of seeing some of the sculptor's drawings, made in charcoal.

The museum in Bocșa is the second "Constantin Lucaci" museum in the world, the first being opened in Italy, on April 14, 2007, in the Sanctuary of San Francesco di Paola, under the name "Racolta Constantin Lucaci". The museum in Italy contains a collection of 37 stainless steel sculptures, the collection being under the auspices of the Vatican.
