This striking work showcases Müller’s mastery of hardstone carving, featuring a dynamic kingfisher captured mid-dive with a fish in its beak. The bird is intricately carved from richly iridescent labradorite, displaying natural flashes of blue, green, and bronze. The head is rendered in contrasting agate, adding depth and realism to the composition.
The figure is mounted atop a sculptural rock crystal quartz formation, evoking the natural environment, and is further raised on a clean square acrylic base, enhancing its gallery presentation.
Stonework was executed in Brazil, reflecting the high-quality lapidary traditions associated with the region.
