Cactus sculpture

Egg-shaped sculpture of lacquered walnut, beech and gold leaf. Conic spikes in white gold provide a striking contrast to the smooth, rich teal of the outer surface of the egg, while the precisely calculated white gold interior captures and reflects rays of light, giving it a soft glow as if lit from the inside. Influenced by early 20th century masters such as Majorelle, Gallé, the artist takes the essence of the organic art nouveau curves and makes a transcendent leap into refined 21st century minimalism. One-of-a-kind. Signed by the artist.
