In the mysterious pulse of the ocean, the Marine Creatures Collection emerges: a journey shaped in bas-relief, where water becomes living skin and primordial memory.
Every piece is born from my bare hands through the Smussato technique, sculpting waves, currents and luminous forms that breathe across the canvas.
The Koi fish, always in pairs, move in an eternal circular dance, embodying the cyclic rhythm of existence, the return, the universal breath. Dolphins rise from the deep as ancient messengers, while hybrid figures — half woman, half marine essence — guard the mythical energy of the abyss. Hair flowing like medusas, serpentine tails, bodies born from liquid light.
The waves cross each canvas like a heartbeat. Azure, silver and gold vibrate on the surface, narrating the meeting between the visible and the infinite. On the seafloor, feminine figures rise from the quiet blue, accompanied by starfish that guard the silence of the depths. their gestures are ancient, instinctive, part of a language belonging to water and memory.
In one of three canvases forming the stepped triptych, a sea-born being reaches toward the surface and touches the water with the fingertip, tracing a circle of life that links two distant realms. Artworks speak to each other with a flowing rhythm, like waves rising and falling, revealing the breath of the ocean through connected visions.
The sea is not a background. It is origin. It is cosmic breath.
Through these works I listened to its call, bringing to the surface its hidden voice made of symbols, metamorphosis and universal connection.
