The sculpture features two elephants, one crafted from sleek stainless steel and the other from textured corten steel. The stainless - steel elephant, with its mirror - like surface, reflects the surrounding environment, creating a dynamic interplay between the artwork and its context. It symbolizes the modern, polished world, where everything seems to be in a constant state of reflection and self - awareness. In contrast, the corten - steel elephant, with its rust - like patina, evokes a sense of timelessness and connection to the earth. It represents the raw, natural world, with its enduring beauty and resilience.
The creative process was a labor - of - love and a meticulous exploration of form and material. I delved deep into the anatomy of elephants, studying their massive bodies, their long trunks, and their large ears. Sketching countless drafts, I aimed to capture the essence of their grace and strength. Working closely with a team of skilled metal artisans, we utilized advanced metal - working techniques to bring my vision to life. The choice of stainless steel and corten steel was deliberate, as I wanted to contrast the shiny, reflective quality of the former with the rough, earthy texture of the latter, highlighting the duality between the modern and the natural.
An intriguing aspect of "Mirrored Elephant" is the way the two elephants seem to interact with each other and their surroundings. The stainless - steel elephant's reflective surface often captures the image of the corten - steel elephant, creating a visual dialogue between the two. It's as if they are in a constant conversation, representing the ongoing interaction between the man - made and the natural world.

Sebastian Novaky, a contemporary German Pop artist born in 1986 in Düsseldorf, is renowned for his unique approach to sculpture. After studying at the National School of Fine Arts, he embarked on a journey that [...]

Influenced by luminaries like Jeff Koons, Takashi Murakami, and Robert Indiana, Novaky operates under the signature "New Wild" ethos. This philosophy is not just an artistic style but a way of life that seeks to transform negative impulses into positive emotions. His works, predominantly crafted from industrial materials such as resin, stainless - steel, corten steel, marble, and bronze, are a testament to his ability to blend the mundane with the extraordinary.

Novaky's favorite subjects, including monumental and decorative animals like lions, dragons, and black panthers, are rendered as polished, monochromatic totems. These sculptures are not mere representations but rather reflections of the more instinctive and impulsive aspects of human nature, refined through the pursuit of perfection.

Since 2014, he has been ranked among the top 10 best - selling modern artists in the world by Art Price, a testament to his global appeal. His works have graced numerous prestigious institutions and art fairs worldwide, including the Art Elysées, Art Paris, Artiferia in Bologna, INCEPTION Gallery, and Opera Gallery.

Novaky's sculptural style is a masterful blend of figurative art with a distinct, almost imperceptible sense of high fashion. His talent, skill, and lifelong dedication are evident in every piece, as he effortlessly combines vivacious energy with a jewel - like attention to detail, creating instantly recognizable works of art that are both beautiful collectibles and loving modern decorations. In his art, he encapsulates the beauty and wonder of his subjects, inviting viewers to see the world through his extraordinary eye.
