In this lot, one of the iconic skulls by the Mexican artist Carlos del Bravo is presented. The work on skulls has characterized his entire production since his beginnings in Mexico, and with his arrival in Pietrasanta, Italy, in 2015, Del Bravo completed his training, learning and perfecting the sculptural techniques typical of the Italian tradition. From the fusion of these two cultures arise Del Bravo’s works, which he personally creates himself without assistants. All of his works are unique pieces.
