Socrate - The Lion

Original artwork by the artist Socrate

Aerosol spray, acrylic, gold leaf, and posca on polystone sculpture.
Lion sculpture. Glossy car body varnish

This 30 cm lion sculpture makes its presence felt through its power and modernity. Usually a symbol of strength, nobility, and protection, the lion here becomes a true pop-art icon: fluorescent splashes, vibrant nuances, bold contrasts… Each color seems to tell a different energy, a raw emotion, almost animal.

Its mane, elevated by touches of gold leaf, adds a luxurious and prestigious dimension to the whole. The gold catches the light, underscores the majesty of the animal, and turns this piece into much more than a sculpture: a true contemporary totem.

Between savagery and sophistication, this creation manages to marry the lion’s primitive instinct with the audacity of street art. A unique, explosive, and irresistible work, perfect for those who want to own a strong, expressive, and totally original piece.

A sculpture that does not go unnoticed — it roars, it shines, it reigns.
