Sculpture: Daum “Adelie” Limited Edition of 125

The soaring appearance of the Water Lily that the master craftsmen of Daum Crystalworks have managed so masterfully to create, expresses with great sinuosity and elegance, the momentum of life, its birth, its mystery, its journey through time.

The delicacy and suppleness and strength that the stem of the Water Lily through its emergence from the water, makes us understand and conveys the meaning of the life of Genesis that therefore develops in its quest for Light, Sun and Life.

As the Water Lily that from the depths of the waters of the gardens tends to reach the light of the Sun, which it precisely seeks through the rays that penetrate the water , so life stretches out subtly rising through the narrow recesses of nature to reach the light of life and the Sun.

This is Daum's first collaboration with French artist Nathalie Seguin. The artist's original bronze sculptures reveal the impressive movement of dancers, twirling in their long gowns, defying gravity. Their postures are gracefully captured in bronze, poised for eternity.

The artist has experimented with a new medium, pâte de cristal, to give her works a new depth. The fragility of the crystal, the delicate draping of the dress and the emotion conveyed by the colors give a whole new meaning to her beautiful dancer Paloma. The transparency of the crystal and Daum's soft, delicate colors amplify the vivacity and swirling spirit of the veil. Paloma, light and feminine, seems to dance to the rhythm of imaginary music.
