Becheroni, a distinguished exponent of Italian abstractionism, has always sought, through his art, to create a synthesis between the anthropomorphic and the natural, where every element of his work is intrinsically connected to another, forming a complex visual and conceptual dialogue.

This sculpture, crafted from Pau Brasil wood, a noble and now rare material, is the result of a careful recovery by the artist and his team, salvaged from the ashes of fires and deforestation that have ravaged Brazil's forests. "The Great Force of Nature" is not just a work of art but a silent homage to the power and fragility of nature, a warning about the devastations inflicted by humanity.

The wood, sculpted and reinvented, transforms into a totem, a symbol of resilience and memory, where the tree itself, as a member of the forest, stands as the protagonist, reconstructed and reimagined by Becheroni. Its sharp and monumental forms do not only criticize environmental destruction but also represent hope for a future where man and nature can coexist in harmony.

Becheroni wanted his sculptures to be seen as a testimony of our time, a call to the necessity of protecting nature and restoring a lost balance. "The Great Force of Nature" is a work that speaks of memory and accusation, a tangible testimony of the symbiosis in which the artist has always firmly believed. with this series, the artist not only stigmatizes the destruction but also creates a monument to the hope and resilience of nature itself.
