Description of the work:
“Lion” is an original and unique work depicting an African animal, a universal symbol of wisdom, protection, intuition, and renewal. Through this contemporary composition, Natalia Kuruch combines a luminous palette with a rich exploration of materials to create a presence that is both poetic and expressive.

The artist works the surface with knife impasto, creating a sculptural relief that dialogues with a hand-made crackle effect. The colors bring luminous and precious accents, while the glossy resin enhances color depth, durably protects the work and produces subtle reflections that evolve with the light.
