Longevity, cosmogony, and the support of the world. The turtle holds a magnificent place in ancient mythology, conceived as the cosmogonic pillar that bears the order of creation upon its shell. This work evokes the mysticism of origins and the syncretism of marine legends, translating the eternal patience of the chelonian into a cabinet piece of admirable conceptual density, perfect for high-end collecting.
The sculpture captures the creature in a swimming posture, projecting a suspended movement with its flippers set to the sides and its head raised with its mouth open, indicating it has surfaced to breathe. Its shell rises in a superb roundness that evokes a perfect dome carved with virtuosity. The color palette combines a beige base with shades of brown, pink, and turquoise, applied through a mixed-media technique of meticulous detail that gives relief and filigree to the majestic shell.
