Noah's Ark 2. (2021) Heykel Erno Toth tarafından

Story about sculpture:

I respect every religion and belief and I am aware of their importance. I also know the stories from the Chestnut Bible well. Many are very interesting, wise and educational and have something to say even today.
However, the Old Testament in particular is too serious and harsh for my humorous and crazy nature.
That's why I took the liberty of portraying one of the most famous biblical stories - about the Flood of the world and thus also about Noah's Ark in a mildly humorous and at the same time simplified form.
I hope that strictly religious people will not blame me, because I added wheels to Noah's ark. After all, once the water recedes, the wheels of Noah and his animals will come off on dry land...



Important information:
Even if I state that there are 3-5 copies of a specific sculpture, each of them is actually an original. The technique of my work is atypical and I have to model every single piece of the same sculpture again and create a mold into which the bronze is then poured. Despite over 40 years of experience, even I cannot model any of the other variations of the same motif completely identically. There are minor differences between them, even though in principle it is the same work.
Sometimes it can happen that the work shown in the photo has already been sold in the meantime, and in the case of another order, I have to model this motif again from the beginning and have it cast into a new form. In this case, the time for sending the work is around 3 weeks, and it must be taken into account that this sculpture will differ in a few small details from the depicted work.
But the advantage is that, for the above reasons, the purchased work is unique, and a completely identical work can simply never exist.
