🔸 Technique : Patinated terracotta - Bas relief 🔸 Dimensions : 35 x 20 cm 🔸 Price : €1,500 🔸 Unique piece
Emerging from the ripples of a sea sculpted in the earth, this delicate bas-relief by Arestakes captures the intimacy of a moment of silent labor. An Indonesian fisherman, alone in his dugout canoe, cuts through the waves with an elongated paddle. The minute details of the net, the wood of the boat, and the movement of the water give the scene a sense of suspended life.
The patina with green and earthy nuances evokes the fusion between man and nature, between tradition and material.
This work pays homage to the ancestral gestures and wisdom of the island peoples, inscribing the memory of their customs in the eternity of terracotta.
