“Metis” Horse sculpture in Black Marquina marble

Descrizione

Metis is practical intelligence, cunning, the ability to see through another’s eyes. It is the knowledge of the artist who transforms raw material, discovering the hidden sculpture within the marble block. It is the strategist’s skill, turning the tide of an uneven battle to favor his own side. Metis is the final move of a chess player, skillfully unraveling the complex web of a game defined by unpredictable variables. Its essence is sculpted in marble, captured in a horse in motion—its chest lifted, neck arched—the ideal stance for equestrian discipline. The flowing lines, the marble’s unpredictable veins, and the tactile pleasure of its polished curves spark the creativity of those who project their own imagination onto this timeless tabletop piece.

The work is in honed black marquina marble handmade in Italy. Different types of marble and finishes are available upon request. Each piece is made to order and should be considered unique because it may have variations related to the craftsmanship and veining of the marble. The aforementioned variations are to be considered a guarantee of the quality of the object.
