Sculpture of anhydrite "Whale"

The sculpture "Whale" is an image in which softness and strength, grace and massiveness are combined with an almost childlike spontaneity. Made from a single block of anhydrite, the sea giant appears in an unexpectedly touching interpretation: rounded shapes, a half-smile, a flexibly curved tail and a look in which a gentle, primeval calm seems to live. A light gray stone with an elegant natural vein simulates the play of waves and the depth of the oceanic horizon, creating a feeling of natural breathing of the material. The figure is located on a polished marble stand resembling a petrified coral — a quiet seabed on which a fabulous inhabitant has descended.

The eyes are made of black agate, which gives the look expressiveness, and in the corner of the mouth there is a tiny orange coral element, as if a detail emerged from a dream. Despite the emphasized naivety of the image, the performance reveals the virtuoso hand of a master who is able to transform a heavy mass of mineral into a living, almost cartoonish entity without losing its aesthetic dignity. The fins, the relief of the surface, and the light folds on the skin are carefully designed to enhance the feeling of volume and presence.

This item is designed for those who know how to afford to smile, even being at the top of power. The sculpture "Whale" will perfectly fit into the personal office of an aesthete, an art space, a detail of a secluded library or as an accent on a collector's shelf. She doesn't speak loudly, but she does say that in a world where many things are serious, the most luxurious thing is to afford a game.
