God of light, beauty, the arts, and prophecy, Apollo embodies balance and power. This series reinterprets his figure through a contemporary lens, where color and pop aesthetics do not contradict his classical origin, but rather revitalize it.

Each bust is a tribute to the permanence of the ancient world—a way of showing that the classical spirit remains alive, transforming over time without losing its essence. Apollo endures: eternal, radiant, and ever-present.

From the series Apolo. Resin and lacquer paint. Dimensions: 17.3 x 11.0 x 11.8 inches. Edition 1/5. Weight : 19.8 lb

This artwork is a pristine white bust sculpted in the neoclassical style, reminiscent of ancient Greek and Roman masterpieces. The piece captures the serene and idealized visage of a youthful figure with intricate detailing in the flowing curls of the hair. The face is an epitome of harmony and balance, with softly defined features that convey a sense of timeless beauty and calmness. The bust is mounted on a simple rectangular plinth, which enhances its elegance and focuses attention on the head's graceful contours. The high-quality finish reflects light subtly, adding depth and dimensionality to the sculpture. This piece stands out for its classical inspiration, expert craftsmanship, and the ability to evoke a sense of history and artistic tradition within a contemporary context. The signature on the base adds a personal touch, marking the artist's unique contribution to this timeless art form.
