Rustic Heart

This heart-shaped sculpture, weighing 2.65 kg, measures 19 cm high, 14 cm wide, and 10 cm deep. Its rustic yet delicate style and dark green color verge on black create a unique aesthetic. This artwork expresses two seemingly opposing facets that merge into a single object: on one hand, the delicacy and romanticism of love, expressed in the stone's smoothness and luster; on the other, the bitterness and hardships of that same love, conveyed through the stone's rustic textures. Two sides of the same coin.

Inspired by love and its many facets, the artist saw in this intense green stone, with its black undertones and light green and white details, a "HEART." With whimsical white, reddish, and various shades of green veins, this beautiful Harzburgite delights us with iridescent shimmers that are revealed in daylight, reflected in the lighter tones. On one of its sides, amidst areas of rustic finish, a striking white circle with a glossy finish appears, perhaps representing an old, healed wound.

This stone was selected for its tones and textural characteristics, from a quarry located 120 km south of the city of Córdoba, Argentina.
