Description from the seller
Modern Sculpture "Shark in Motion" (Metallica, Polished Silver Finish)
This contemporary sculpture captures the dynamic essence and predatory power of a moving shark. The work is made in cast metal and features a stunning satin-silver finish on the body and a mirror finish on the extremities that highlight its aerodynamic shapes and aggressive details, such as the etched gills and the jaws partially open.
The sculpture is masterfully balanced on a stylized base that evokes the movement of water or waves, giving the marine animal a sense of suspension and graceful speed. The substantial dimensions, with a width of 50 cm, make this shark a piece with strong visual impact.
Ideal for modern art collectors, lovers of nautical design, or as a distinctive decorative element in a studio or office. The polished metal reflects light, turning the work into a bright focal point in any environment.
