"One of the important artists of the Italian Neo-figurative sculpture" Edward Lucie- Smith
The sylph is a figure from Nordic mythology, a flying fairy of the air, an elusive and mysterious being. The art of the classical figure merges with the metaphysical imagery of the sculptor. In all his works Tirelli is able to create a timeless atmosphere where past, present and future coexist. The elegance of his figures lies in the careful study of classical forms, revisited in a contemporary way.
This polychrome resin sculpture was elegantly hand-modeled in clay and then cast in resin.
