Sculpture by Elvio Becheroni entitled: Construction with secret

About the Item

"Construction with secret" by Elvio Becheroni, a sculpture created in 1981, is a profound masterpiece made from the noble Canela wood. But this sculpture is not just a work of art; it is a powerful lament, a heartfelt protest against the serious problem of Amazon deforestation that continues to afflict our planet. In every meticulously crafted piece of wood, we can hear Becheroni's passionate plea for change. The trunks, once consumed by the raging fires of the Amazon forest, have found new life in this sculpture. They serve as a poignant reminder of the devastating consequences of deforestation, a testament to the destruction and loss we must face and correct. Becheroni's heart beats in unison with the natural world, as he firmly believes in the vital symbiosis between humankind and nature. In the very essence of this sculpture, the tree assumes an identity of remembrance, a repository of memory, and a wellspring of hope. It embodies the resilience of nature, a force that can regenerate and thrive if given the chance. The wood that breathes life into "Construction with Secret" is the fruit of Becheroni's extensive journeys to Brazil. With each trip, he carries back not just wood but a piece of the Amazon's spirit, a piece of the story that needs to be told. He captures the essence of the forest in his work, allowing it to resonate with all who encounter it. In "Construction with Secret," Becheroni's artistry takes form in a sinuous shape, adorned with sculpted geometric games at its core. These intricate patterns create a symbolic secret, a mystery waiting to be unveiled. It invites viewers to engage in a dialogue with the artwork, to explore the hidden depths of its meaning, and to contemplate the hidden truths of our relationship with nature. This sculpture is not merely an ornament; it's a powerful statement. It is an ideal furnishing accessory for those who share Becheroni's unwavering belief in the sanctity of nature. It serves as a constant reminder of our responsibility to protect and preserve the natural world, to nurture the hope that a better future is possible. "Construction with Secret" is a masterpiece that speaks to the heart, a silent plea for change, and a beacon of hope. It embodies the enduring power of art to inspire, provoke, and galvanize us to action. Elvio Becheroni's creation transcends time and space, inviting us all to stand as stewards of the earth and champions of the Amazon's rebirth.
