about this bronze sculpture

The Owl Series Bronze Sculpture symbolizes wisdom, mystery, and transformation, drawing on the owl’s rich presence in global mythology.

Owls are revered as symbols of intelligence and insight, protectors of sacred knowledge, and messengers between worlds. From Athena's sacred companion in Greek mythology to Native American guides of the spiritual realm, the owl embodies a profound connection to the unknown and the transformative cycles of life.

Crafted in bronze, the series reflects the timelessness and resilience of its subject. The material’s durability and evolving patina mirror the enduring legacy of the owl in cultural narratives.

Intricate details and expressive forms highlight the artist’s dedication to merging symbolism with craftsmanship, offering a powerful exploration of identity, intuition, and the interplay between ancient wisdom and modern art.
