“Winter Fire”
Statuario Marble - 17x42x62cm
Winter Fire is a study in the impossible—capturing the weightless, flickering essence of a flame within the solid permanence of stone. Carved from a single block of marble, the sculpture depicts a series of tall, elegant flames that appear to drift upward with an almost liquid grace.
The forms are rendered with such delicate precision that the marble becomes nearly transparent, allowing light to pass through the thinned stone just as it would through a real blaze. By transforming a cold, heavy material into a representation of heat and air, the work highlights the paradox of a frozen fire.
The title suggests a moment of vital warmth found in the heart of a cold season. It turns a fleeting elemental force into a static, glowing monument, inviting the viewer to contemplate a flame that—unlike its natural counterpart—will never burn out or consume its source.
