About the Item

Bronze and petrified Arizona wood Edition number : 1/8 ; Draws 8 + 4 Certificate : seal and signature by Dominique Mufraggi on the work and on the original certificate Dominique Mufraggi was born in 1958. He was graduated from the Ecole Boulle in 1978 with a degree in intaglio engraving, and turned his attention to volume, modeling and dinanderie. Always in search of the best plastic expression of the living, his style is quickly recognized by many of the Place Vendôme houses, with whom he works exclusively, in particular Cartier for over 25 years and Boucheron. His talent and aesthetic vision, particularly in the field of animals, were often called upon by these Houses to contribute to a large number of high jewelry and luxury object projects. His desire to "break with classic bronzes" and make them "not just metal" has led him to propose innovative sculptures, where bronze is not just bronze and the base is not just a base. It's a harmonious assemblage, carefully thought out and crafted, a synthesis of classic and design, where no stage of creation has been left to chance. He always works with a luxury mentality and his pieces took a very long time to be achieved. His creating inspiration comes from the classic style and he creates works that could be dated from the past but are from today and very rare. About this piece "Terre", you can find the inspiration from Edouard-Marcel Sandoz, the famous Swiss sculptor of the first half of the 20th century. Inevitably influenced by his work in the world of haute joaillerie, his work reflects the search for a harmonious resonance between metal and mineral, but this time the mineral enhances the metal. About this work "Terre", Dominique Mufraggi says "Observation, the acuity of the gaze, surveillance of the slightest hint of movement indicating possible prey. Lurking in wait, in intimate contact with the Earth, the patina allows it to melt into its resting place." About the feline series This series on felines is very dear to Dominique Mufraggi. He has a certain fascination for the capacity of these animals for discretion, solitude and determination in their cautious yet determined attacks. For him, they are high-level athletes who hide a lot and appear for their attacks like lightning. It is this set of characteristics that he attempts to capture in these volumes. Dominique Mufraggi's plastic art captures the power of musculature, its slightly cubist synthesis, inspired by Tamara de Lempika's painting, which juxtaposes simple forms with subtle connections. So that the viewer can concentrate on the feline's attitude, he sculpts only part of the animal, opting for a frontal view to capture the most expressive part of the animal: the gaze, the mouth and the part that seizes the prey. "What a marvel it is to observe these feline beauties. The moment I try to capture in these volumes is ephemeral. Its base is only temporary; it passes through it, surpasses it, crosses its limits. Perhaps tomorrow it will no longer be there" Dominique Mufraggi

Pollès’s power of giving life to the bronze by infusing it with a carnal quality enables him to combine the breath of sensuality with the glowing work of the metal smith. In my mind ...
