Suiseki Animal Figure – “White Gorilla”

Description

A Powerful Representation of Strength and Motion

The Suiseki “White Gorilla” is an extraordinary piece that captures the raw power and grace of the animal kingdom. Sculpted from Palombino stone by artist Franco Mauri, this suiseki closely resembles a gorilla moving forward, leaning on its knuckles, showcasing both the strength and determination of this majestic creature. The natural form of the stone emphasizes the gorilla’s muscular structure and forward motion, creating an impactful and dynamic work of art.

A Masterpiece of Nature and Craftsmanship

Shaped over millennia, the Palombino stone carries the history of the earth within it, its texture and form highlighting the gorilla’s powerful stance. Resting upon a carefully handcrafted koto wood daiza, the piece is elevated in both presence and meaning. The smooth, elegant lines of the daiza complement the raw, dynamic form of the stone, creating a perfect balance between nature and artistry.

A Collector’s Tribute to Animal Majesty

Created by Franco Mauri, “White Gorilla” is more than just a decorative piece—it’s a powerful reflection of nature’s strength and movement. Whether displayed in a bonsai setting, an art collection, or an animal-inspired space, this suiseki brings the spirit of the wild into any home, serving as a timeless symbol of power, grace, and the untamed beauty of the animal world.
