About the Item

The Blue Rhino and Lion ceramic sculpture, crafted by Zimele Ceramics, is a captivating piece from the African Circus collection, designed by Zimele Original Ceramics and brought to life by the artistry of Petros and Matrinah. Standing 8 high and measuring 8 in both length and width, this unique sculpture embodies a rich blend of cultural symbolism and artistic innovation. Hand-sculpted by Matrinah and hand-painted by Petros, the piece features a striking blue rhino alongside a regal lion. In African culture, the rhino is often seen as a symbol of resilience and strength due to its formidable presence and protective nature. The lion, known as the "king of the jungle," represents leadership, courage, and nobility. Together, these animals illustrate the balance between power and authority, reflecting their significant roles in the natural world. The sculpture is part of the African Circus collection, which explores the themes of food, safety, and communal support. Victor’s inspiration for the collection lies in observing the intertwined nature of wildlife and human life, portraying the universal pursuit of sustenance and security. The blue rhino and lion symbolize the dual aspects of strength and protection, highlighting the idea that safety and support are vital to thriving. The collection's overarching message is one of unity and the value of extending help to others. The blue rhino and lion, with their vivid colors and dynamic forms, capture this sentiment beautifully. The creative process behind this piece involved a joyful collaboration between artists, filled with thoughtful decisions on how to pair the animals and paint their features, resulting in a piece that celebrates both African wildlife and the spirit of communal solidarity.
