Description

This terracotta sculpture represents a powerful symbol of harmony and interconnectedness. Carp, often associated with luck and prosperity in many cultures, can also symbolize perseverance, as they are known to overcome waterway currents and obstacles.The bright colors, with a predominance of red and orange, capture the attention and reflect vitality and energy, suggesting a celebration of life. The carp is a lively fish full of strength for a long-lived fish.

It is a symbol of courage, strength and patience.

It has a hook for hanging.

"I try to express the vitality of nature through bold colors and dynamic shapes, inviting the viewer to reflect on the profound connection between strength and harmony." – Vanessa Bonino

It will be provided with a certificate of authenticity and will be shipped inside a sturdy envelope.
