Nikolay Anev: Sculpture 'Siren', bronze

Product information "Nikolay Anev: Sculpture 'Siren', bronze"

Nikolay Anev interprets the motifs of classical Greek-Thracian mythology with particular passion. Here it is the sirens that Homer describes in the Odyssey: No man could resist the enchanted song of these creatures - half girl, half bird - who lived on a rocky island. Anyone who heard them had to follow them and wrecked his ship on the sharp rocks. Odysseus had his companions' ears sealed with wax and tied himself to the mast to escape the seduction. Only the Thracian Orpheus was able to escape the Sirens' seduction by his own willpower. Exclusively at ars mundi: 'Siren' sculpture in fine bronze, cast using the lost wax technique. Hand-patinated, polished and mounted on a diabase base. Limited edition of 199 pieces, numbered and signed. Height incl. plinth 54 cm.
Artist: Nikolay Anev
