"Chi non risica non rosica" (Who doesn’t take risks, doesn’t gain) this exquisite polished matte black bronze sumo sculpture is surrounded by delicate golden butterflies. The contrast between the deep, sophisticated black finish and the tiny, shimmering gold butterflies symbolizes the rewards of boldness and the beauty that comes from taking chances. This piece captures the essence of risk and the subtle elegance that arises from daring to embrace the unknown. The breathing remains regular, his half-open lips allowing the breath to flow in a steady, fruitful exchange between his inner world and the outside environment. His powerful body strikes a perfect balance with the elements, while the materials that form him transcend into light, reaching for the heavens. Sculpted in black bronze, his form exudes strength and mystery, becoming a figure where butterflies softly rest upon him, floating in the tranquil blue sky.
