El Beso, Bronze sculpture in Parque del Amor, Miraflores district, Lima, Peru.
El Beso is a bronze sculpture in Parque del Amor in Miraflores, depicting two people kissing. The work stands on a concrete base measuring about 3 meters tall and is surrounded by colorful mosaic patterns that enliven the public space.
The work was created in 1993 by Peruvian artist Victor Delfin and honors a local tradition of kissing competitions in Miraflores. This art form emerged from the idea of transforming a spontaneous and passionate gesture into an lasting monument.
The sculpture displays two figures locked in an embrace, speaking to feelings that visitors experience when standing before it. Many people use it as a backdrop for photos or touch the bronze pair, showing how deeply this work connects with the daily life of people in Lima.
The sculpture sits in Parque del Amor, a popular public space with nearby restaurants and shops where you can spend time before or after your visit. Access is free and available daily, and you get good views of the Pacific Ocean from here.
The bronze figures capture the exact moment when Victor Delfin kissed his wife, transforming a personal instant into public art. This artistic choice to document and enlarge a private gesture makes this work distinctive among public sculptures.
