Timbul worked with all types of metals and each piece he created was hand-sculpted. One of these creations is the Large Leaping Diver Sculpture that is made of metal in an aluminum finish. It has a striated surface that enhances its design distinction—when the finish is rubbed onto its surface, it collects in the valleys to bring added patina to the gray sculpture. This lends it a textural feel that convinces the eye this is a vintage decorative accessory. In the foyer of a modern home filled with contemporary art, this silver sculpture will hold its own.

Note: Aluminum works outdoors and is not prone to rust, but has a high affinity to oxygen and will eventually oxidize. This develops a hardened white-colored coating across the surface of the metal, infusing your piece with authentic natural beauty and additional protection. Depending on conditions, this process occurs between 1-12 months of outdoor exposure. See less
