About the Item

Italian giant swan in shell by Gabriella Binazzi. In a world where the boundary between art and imagination is becoming increasingly thin, the extraordinary work of Gabriella Binazzi, a Florentine artist capable of transforming matter into pure emotion, emerges. This magnificent piece, a sublime example of her production, fully embodies Binazzi's artistic philosophy: to create objects that are not only to be admired, but to be experienced. Made of the finest mother-of-pearl ceramic and gold finishes, this piece depicts a mythological creature, suspended between the animal kingdom and the fantastic one. The enveloping shape of the wings, the regality of the gold that envelops the neck and torso, the sinuous line that seems to flow like water: every detail tells a story made of mystery, elegance and poetry. Gabriella Binazzi has always been able to capture the essence of the marvelous, reinterpreting nature with an ironic, surreal but deeply sophisticated gaze. Her works, inspired by the marine world, exotic birds and fairy-tale creatures, are now sought after by international collectors, lovers of beauty and experimentation. This object is not just a decorative sculpture, but a true functional work of art, capable of communicating with the space that surrounds it. Perfect as a centerpiece, a scenographic element or a conversation piece, it represents a safe investment for those who want to enrich their home with a touch of magic and originality. Every curve, every golden reflection, every nuance of the ceramic testifies to the love for the material and the mastery of one of the greatest Italian interpreters of contemporary artistic design. Don't miss this rare opportunity to own an authentic piece by Gabriella Binazzi: a timeless object, capable of surprising today and tomorrow.
