"Praise"

[Available and Showing at North Scottsdale Studio and 2025 Celebration of Fine Art)

This contemporary abstract sculpture is handcrafted from 316-L non-corrosive stainless steel, renowned for its durability and resistance to corrosion. The sculpture has a mirror polish finish and is elegantly mounted on a Italian marble base, providing a striking contrast to the smooth, reflective finish of the steel. The mirror-like surface enhances the modern aesthetic while symbolizing the idea of admiration and approval of human achievement. The artist's vision is to represent the essence of recognition and accomplishment, evoking a sense of celebration for success and progress in a timeless, refined manner.
