Carved from Carrara marble of luminous purity, Brutus embodies the quiet strength of a resolute spirit. His gaze, slightly turned outward, combines haughtiness, confidence, and a form of inner restraint. One might read a slight, discreet smile, like the sign of a decision taken, guided by principles greater than himself.
The rigorously sculpted face subtly interacts with the unkempt hair, creating a contrast between the fine detail and the still-living material. At the base of the neck, a shape reminiscent of a riveted ruff reinforces the impression of stature, function, and even sacrifice.
With Brutus , Arestakes gives flesh to an ancient figure, not as a hero frozen in marble, but as a man standing in his complexity.
Between restrained power and assumed humanity, the sculpture challenges with its nobility and timeless modernity.
