Elvio Becheroni Sculpture, Title: Guardian your own safety, Amazonia series

Creator: Elvio Becheroni
Offered by: Vintage Domus Srl

Description
"guardian of one's own safety," a profound sculpture by the talented Elvio Becheroni, is a striking addition to the "Amazonia" series, the disenchanted forest, conceived in 1992. This masterpiece is carved from noble Pau brasil wood, the origin of which is rooted in the trunks. recovered from the devastating fires that ravaged the Amazon forest during the relentless march of deforestation. Each of Becheroni's creations serves as a powerful denunciation of the serious and current problem of Amazon deforestation.
At the heart of Becheroni's art lies an unwavering belief in the delicate symbiosis between humanity and the natural world. His work serves as a tribute to memory, an anthem to hope, and a reminder of the profound connection between humanity and the trees that have borne witness to the passage of time.

The wood, meticulously collected during the artist's extensive journeys to Brazil, carries within it the very essence of the Amazon. It is more than mere material; it is a tangible connection to the untamed beauty that is slowly fading away.
In "Guarding One's Own Safety," Becheroni's vision takes shape in a powerful and evocative form. The sculpture embodies the concept of strength and protection, symbolized by a formidable shield crafted from wood. This shield becomes a metaphor for the defense of one's safety, not just against physical threats but also against the cruel atrocities committed by humanity upon the natural world.

As one gazes upon this sculpture, it evokes a sense of resilience and determination. The shield stands tall and resolute, like a guardian of the forest, determined to ward off harm and protect the fragile balance of nature.
Beyond its artistic value, "Guarding One's Own Safety" is a call to action, a plea for responsibility. It serves as a stark reminder of our collective duty to safeguard and conserve our environment, to shield it from the devastating consequences of our actions.

For those who hold nature close to their hearts, this sculpture is more than a mere furnishing accessory; it is a symbol of their unwavering commitment to the cause. It resonates with those who firmly believe that we must be the protectors of nature, standing between it and the relentless cruelty of human exploitation.
In "Guarding One's Own Safety," Elvio Becheroni has given voice to the Amazon, to the trees, and to the silent plea of the Earth itself. It is a work of art that speaks to the soul, an emotional testament to our responsibility to protect the natural world and ensure a brighter future for generations to come.
