Elvio Becheroni Abstract wooden sculpture: Title Totem

About the Item

Elvio Becheroni's "Totem," born from the heart of the Amazon, testifies to the delicate dance between man and nature. In 1988, he created a masterpiece, not simply carved from the noble PAU Brasil wood but woven from the threads of a profound message. Each piece of wood, coming from logs saved from the smoking ashes of the great fires that devastated the Floresta Amazonica, carries with it a story of destruction and redemption. In each sculpture, Becheroni brings to life his condemnation of the grave sin of Amazon deforestation. His hands, guided by a fervent belief in the symbiosis between humanity and the earth, create a hymn to a brighter tomorrow. With each capable stroke, he whispers to the ancient trees, promising hope and rebirth. The wood, a witness to countless journeys to the heart of Brazil, bears the weight of memory and the promise of change. In this remarkable creation, "Totem," Becheroni's vision takes shape-a sinuous form that curves and winds, a testament to the organic beauty of nature itself. Yet, amidst the sinuosity, iron beams interlace like a guardian's embrace, forming a cage - a stark reminder of the ever-present threat to our precious rainforest. This sculpture, "Totem," transcends its physical form. It becomes an embodiment of remembrance, a shrine to memory, and a beacon of hope. It encourages us to stand as stewards of the Earth, to take action against the relentless deforestation that plagues the Amazon. It serves as a reminder that our future is bound to the health and vitality of our planet. For those who dare to dream of a harmonious coexistence with nature, "Totem" is more than a mere work of art; it is a profound statement of purpose. It is a furnishing accessory for those who choose to stand in solidarity with the environment, for those who believe that our destiny is intertwined with the very trees that cradle our world. Elvio Becheroni's "Totem" is a call, a plea for change, and a testament to the enduring power of art to touch the soul and ignite the spirit.
