Deep in the wood, where the light falls green and gold, there is a presence that seems to watch quietly from between the leaves. Creature of the Forest, known in its native Sicily as Creatura del Bosco, is an enchanting encounter between the majesty of nature and human creativity, a work that holds the very soul of the forest.

Leaves, branches and berries become vibrant symbols of life and rebirth, and the face of a woman emerges from them, wrapped in the wild and enchanting beauty of nature. The intricate decoration flows into the form of the sculpture itself and gradually turns into trees. Finished in a luminous, high-fire glossy glaze of rich, abundant colour, with no single shade taking over, every detail reflects the care and love with which it was shaped entirely by hand. It offers a hypnotic, immersive experience to anyone lucky enough to encounter it, and is a tangible expression of the forest’s eternal beauty and vital force.

In your home

A true conversation piece, this ceramic sculpture is a dominant, expressive accent, yet it settles gracefully into any interior. In a calm, minimalist room it brings a breath of living nature, and among layered, eclectic collections it feels perfectly at home. Place it on a console, a sideboard or a shelf, and let it become the story your guests ask about.

A gift as unique as its recipient

For anyone who loves art, design and luxury, this sculpture is a gift of rare character. Because each piece is made by hand, no two are alike, and the one you give will be truly theirs alone. It is a thoughtful choice for collectors, connoisseurs and all who surround themselves with beauty.

Bring both faces home

The man and the woman of the forest are also available together as a pair. Placed side by side on a console, mantelpiece or sideboard, they create a quiet dialogue between two spirits of the wood, a harmony of rich colour, leaf and berry. For collectors and lovers of art, it makes a striking centrepiece and a truly memorable gift. Each face is available on its own, or choose the Pair option when ordering to bring home both.
