Lladro

Ephemeral Treasures Sculpture Limited Edition (Special Order)

In Ephemeral Treasures, the artist Antonio Segura Donat, known as Dulk, merges his passion for nature with his artistic mastery in collaboration with Lladró.

Ephemeral Treasures is inspired by the fauna of the Asian jungles, transforming Dulk's eponymous painting into a porcelain masterpiece. Each animal depicted, such as the peacock, the tiger, or the monkey, plays a key role in an allegory about the coexistence of species in fragile habitats. Through vibrant colors and meticulous detail, Dulk tells a thought-provoking visual story about the precarious situation of nature. The captivating beauty of the piece draws the viewer in, but as one delves deeper, a more profound message about the fragile state of natural ecosystems is revealed.

Ephemeral Treasures is a composition rich in symbolism. The peacock, with its vibrant feathers full of meticulous details, represents the beauty that nature still preserves, while the hourglass resting upon it serves as a clear reminder of the inevitable passage of time.

The piece, as a whole, is a call to reflection. Through a rich and poetic iconography, Dulk invites us to appreciate the beauty of the natural world and to be aware that, although time moves on, there are still opportunities to maintain and care for those ephemeral treasures that nature offers us.

An iconic Spanish brand, Lladro is a world leader in the creation of porcelain art. Started by brothers Juan, Jose and Vicente Lladro in 1953, the ceramic figurines were initially inspired by the works of great European manufacturers like Meissen and Sevres. Over time, a unique style was forged, consisting of elongated lines, a revolutionary single-firing method, and soft pastel tones.
