Decorative ornament - Spain - Organic Abstraction

It is an organic, abstract sculptural ornament, a piece that seems to freely draw inspiration from the myth of Apollo and Daphne, but reinterpreted through matter and form, without literal narration. The work, crafted in wood, unfolds as a set of intertwined volumes that recall roots, torsos in transformation, branches that open and twist, as if the human figure and the vegetal were in full transit, in that mythical moment when Daphne begins to turn into laurel while Apollo reaches her.

The surface, polished yet full of natural irregularities, heightens the sense of movement: tense curves, bifurcations, knots that seem like muscles or buds, areas where the grain becomes drawing and adds an almost emotional dimension. It is not a figurative representation, but an evocation: metamorphosis turned into gesture, the pursuit turned into form, the myth’s tension translated into living matter.

The metal base reinforces the contrast between the organic and the constructed, between the wood’s upward energy and the stability of the support. Taken together, the piece functions as a symbol of transformation, growth, and narrative strength—a sculpture that does not recount the myth, but suggests it through abstraction.
