Pen-on-Stone Marble Sculpture, Portugal

About the Item

Pen on stone’ marble sculpture. Contemporary sculpture carved from marble, combining elegance and symbolism. The composition features a delicately crafted pen resting on a raw marble base, creating a visual contrast between the smoothness of the sculpted object and the natural texture of the stone. The precisely sculpted pen evokes ancient writing instruments, representing knowledge, communication and human creativity. Marble, a material associated with classical art and durability, reinforces the idea of permanence and solidity of knowledge acquired and recorded over time. The interaction between the elements conveys a concept of reflection on the passage of time, the importance of writing and its relationship with the natural raw material. Signed Vera, 93.
