ABOUT
The sculpture is meticulously crafted from bronze, expertly polished to a lustrous shine, emphasizing the intricate details and textures of the astronaut suits. The smooth surface of the bronze enhances the contrast between the solid, unyielding stone they are breaking out of and the soft, human connection they share. One of the astronauts holds a hand-painted bouquet of flowers. The delicate brushstrokes and vibrant colors of the flowers create a beautiful contrast against the metallic sheen of the spacesuit. The bouquet serves as a symbol of life, beauty, and the resilience of nature, juxtaposed against the harshness and desolation of space. The sculpture stands on a solid marble base, providing a stable and elegant foundation for the artwork. The limited edition nature of the sculpture, with only nine pieces available, adds to its exclusivity and collectible value. Each sculpture in the edition is meticulously signed and numbered by the artist, attesting to its authenticity and craftsmanship. The attention to detail and the artist's personal touch make each piece unique and cherished. This sculpture is a celebration of human connection, love, and the indomitable spirit of exploration. It invites the viewer to contemplate the profound emotions and bonds that can be formed in the face of the unknown.
