AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
This unique sculpture depicts an impossible creature, a marine chimera born from the encounter between a primordial shell and a mutated human hand, transformed into fleshy paws that seem ready to move. The shell, richly modeled with protuberances and organic irregularities, evokes ancient fossils or dredged relics from forgotten depths, while the fingers – shiny, lively, veined – emerge as limbs of an unclassified amphibious being.
The work perfectly captures the spirit of the historic Wunderkammern: enigmatic objects that combine nature, fantasy, and biological anomalies. This chimera appears to be a relic from a past naturalist, an 'impossible piece' to showcase as proof of unclassified creatures and wonders of the hidden world.
This work is situated between organic surrealism and contemporary occult art, evoking presences that live on the borders between the sea and dreams, between life and mutation.
A visionary and provocative piece, ideal for contemporary art collectors, lovers of organic surrealism and mystical symbols related to transformation and the sea.
A fascinating and disturbing specimen at the same time: the wonder that arises when imagination challenges reality.
Unique handcrafted opera piece; signed and individually numbered.
