Tropical Vigil

Weighing 10.8 kg, measuring 48 cm high, 30 cm wide, and 24 cm deep, this piece features a cockatoo design. It is distinguished by its perfect depiction of a cockatoo, with brilliant white plumage, textured details on its body and fluorite crest, and an exquisite color scheme. The base is crafted from two pieces of dark green Harzburgite, with iridescent brown lenses.

Tropical Vigil is a celebration of wildlife seen through a mineral lens. The cockatoo, sculpted in white onyx with a multicolored fluorite crest, stands erect and alert on a harzburgite base, as if guarding the profound silence of the jungle.

White onyx evokes a sense of purity and serenity, while fluorite, with its hues reminiscent of tropical sunsets, suggests intuition and transformation. Harzburgite, an igneous stone of deep origin, acts as an earthly anchor, connecting the piece to the primal forces of the planet.

From Brazil, this work arises from the dialogue between art and geology, between the ephemeral nature of flight and the eternal nature of stone. Tropical Vigil invites us to contemplate beauty frozen in a moment, suspended between matter and spirit.
