Created by \u003cstrong data-start=\"608\" data-end=\"623\"\u003eFaura Balsa\u003c\/strong\u003e, this piece reflects the artist’s ability to balance classical references with expressive texture, resulting in an object that feels both timeless and deeply personal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"793\" data-end=\"1224\"\u003ePresented as a bust with a raw, almost unfinished materiality, \u003cem data-start=\"856\" data-end=\"865\"\u003eOrpheus\u003c\/em\u003e carries a powerful emotional charge. The profile is calm and introspective, while the sculptural surface remains tactile, imperfect and alive; as though the form is still emerging from the material itself. This contrast between refinement and rawness gives the work its strength. It feels intimate, contemplative and quietly dramatic, inviting a slower gaze.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1226\" data-end=\"1737\"\u003eThe dark grey and black tonal palette reinforces its depth and sculptural presence, allowing it to sit beautifully in interiors that value art-led styling, collected objects and a more atmospheric visual language. Whether placed on a console, bookshelf, pedestal, sideboard or desk, the piece introduces a strong sense of narrative and cultural weight. It works especially well in contemporary, editorial or softly brutalist interiors, but can also become a striking contrast within warmer Mediterranean spaces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1739\" data-end=\"1890\"\u003eMore than a decorative object, this is a true art piece; evocative, textural and designed to create a moment of stillness and presence within the room.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1892\" data-end=\"2285\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1892\" data-end=\"1912\"\u003eAbout the Artist\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"1912\" data-end=\"1915\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1915\" data-end=\"1930\"\u003eFaura Balsa\u003c\/strong\u003e (A Coruña, 1991) is a figurative sculptor whose work is distinguished by the dialogue between academic precision and contemporary sensitivity. Working primarily through expressive form and tactile materiality, her sculptures explore the balance between formal structure and emotional resonance, allowing each piece to communicate both presence and story.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2287\" data-end=\"2336\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"2287\" data-end=\"2299\"\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2287\" data-end=\"2336\"\u003e\u003cspan data-start=\"2287\" data-end=\"2299\"\u003e2 variants: Engineered marble sculpture with a bronze patina finish or a iron patina finish\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2287\" data-end=\"2336\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"2338\" data-end=\"2347\" style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eColor\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"2299\" data-end=\"2302\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2338\" data-end=\"2361\"\u003eGrey; Black\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2363\" data-end=\"2410\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"2363\" data-end=\"2392\"\u003eDimensions (H x W x D cm)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"2392\" data-end=\"2395\"\u003e28 × 11 × 11 cm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2412\" data-end=\"2431\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"2412\" data-end=\"2427\"\u003eWeight (kg)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"2427\" data-end=\"2430\"\u003e7kg\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Faura Balsa","offers":[{"title":"Iron Oxide","offer_id":57892653498742,"sku":"OAS-2A00FE46","price":485.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Bronze Oxide","offer_id":57892653531510,"sku":"OAS-2A00FE47","price":485.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/0813\/8102\/files\/orpheussculpture.png?v=1779181947","url":"https:\/\/objectandstory.com\/products\/orpheus-sculpture","provider":"Object and Story","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
