Cast in solid bronze, the figure drapes naturally over a polished black marble cube, its golden spiral shell glowing against the deep stone surface. The contrast between materials — warm bronze and cool marble — gives the piece an arresting duality: organic yet architectural, delicate yet monumental.
The shell’s satin-gold finish catches the light with soft radiance, while the finely textured body reveals expressive hand-worked detail. Even in stillness, the sculpture feels in motion — as if time has been paused mid-journey. It rewards close viewing, revealing subtle variations and the unmistakable traces of craftsmanship.
At 38 cm in height, this work becomes an immediate focal point on a console, pedestal, bookshelf, dining vignette, or entryway. It pairs naturally with Organic Modern, Art Deco Modern, Wabi-Sabi, and Eclectic Collector styles, introducing a note of wit and sophistication without ever disturbing the calm of a space.
A striking, one-of-a-kind collectible for those who appreciate sculptural art with personality, narrative, and timeless materiality. See less
