Half Moon

We look to the sky and see it, but we can also see it on the surface, as the artist did. He imagined it within a rock, and by stripping it bare, he managed to extract it in his work. Weighing 2.25 kg, 29 cm high, 17 cm wide, and 10 cm deep, this beautiful crescent moon, with its yellowish-green hues, perfect curves, and infinite brilliance, shows us its two faces: one bright, the other rustic. Both possess their own beauty, one the work of the artist, the other a gift from Mother Nature. Its black base places us in its natural setting, the night, where it shines.

The stone used for this carving is a dolomite, individually selected from among many for its tones, texture, and firmness, which help to achieve its perfect, smooth curves, as well as its intense and delicate luster. Its base, of granitic origin, displays an intense shine and delicate veins of light colors that run through it.

Both stones come from Córdoba, Argentina, from quarries that are 200 km apart.
