Marble sculpture with polished alabaster base.
The timeless aesthetic perfection of sculpture has accompanied us since ancient times. If the marble flesh is modeled following a precise study of shapes and features, the spirits contained within them struggle to emerge from these extraordinary containers, too beautiful to be true.
Whether they are mythological figures, literary or religious characters, allegorical representations, women of incomparable beauty, they are always works that are inspired by the past while turning to the future.
A timeless sculpture, it combines elegance and modernity and easily matches antique furnishings, dark and valuable woods, but also innovative materials, such as glass and concrete, favored by the modern concept of interior design.
This work best expresses the immense creative and structural possibilities of natural stone, especially when it is created by the expert hand of true craftsmanship, a symbol of the excellence of our entire Made in Italy tradition.
Marble has always held a place of honor in architecture and interior and exterior decoration. Material that has always been used in the most varied fields, from large-scale construction to sculpture, up to daily and domestic use. Thanks to its durability and versatility, accessories, decorative objects and even utensils made of marble become immortal and give an undisputed touch of elegance to every environment and furnishing, from classic to modern.
Venus is represented in full figure, her right hand resting on her breast with a modest gesture, her left hand on her pubis holds a lock of her very long hair blowing in the wind. The head slightly tilted, the expression on the face sweet and gentle. In balance, it is placed on the edge of a shell that leads it to land on the island of Cyprus.
Motion and stillness coexist in the same figure: the waving hair acts as a counterpoint to the statuesque body and the standing pose, the delicate shell that moves pushed by the wind and waves becomes a solid support under his feet.
Its birth, lost between myth and history, the foam of the sea and the languages of art, has never stopped renewing the evolution of symbolism linked to fertility and spirituality, purity, grace, beauty, sensuality and love, making it an icon, as well as an emblem of feminist struggles. Through the display of the Venus, an allure of beauty and sensuality that is never vulgar and predictable can be conveyed to the setting.
