Centaur

In myths, centaurs are usually depicted as wild and unruly animals associated with the wilderness. Some stories portray them as wise and noble creatures, while others describe them as violent and dangerous. My goal was to explore some of the other sides of their nature.

Object: Sculpture
Materials: German Silver, Casting Resin
Size: Width: 9" (23 cm), Length: 4¼" (11 cm), Height: 14½" (37 cm)

The sculpture captures the grace and skill of the centaur as it expertly aims and releases the butterflies, creating a beautiful and mesmerizing display. The centaur's gentle nature is highlighted by its choice of weapon, as it uses its abilities to bring beauty and joy to the world around it.
