About the Item

An exclusive organic contemporary work of Art by the Italian artist Ginestroni. A couture bust in terra cotta exceptionally crafted with a finish that emulates metal, embellished with real iron nails encrusted in the medium and humoristically fitted with keyholes. Every piece by Ginestroni is completely handcrafted and in very limited edition, under a dozen. Ginestroni is a very versatile, contemporary sculptor, who masters different elements: bronze, iron, stone and terra cotta that he shapes in his very plastic expressions. His favorite is terra cotta that he says “captures and modulates the light like no other and has a lightness in its essence that makes my creativity translucent”. His work has been exhibited in the Chianti sculpture park in Italy.
