The Design

About Butterfly And Lady Escultura Artística

Butterfly And Lady é uma escultura em bronze que retrata uma mulher adornada com borboletas. A figura mantém os olhos fechados, sugerindo pensamento profundo ou devaneio, enquanto borboletas pousam sobre sua cabeça e ombros como símbolos de liberdade e transformação. A obra é fundida pelo método tradicional da cera perdida. Um processo de coloração térmica confere à superfície do bronze uma textura semelhante ao mármore, e as borboletas são executadas em um material dourado para criar contraste. A escultura mede 750 por 495 por 476 milímetros e propõe uma reflexão sobre a relação entre o ser humano e a natureza.
