A TRIBUTE TO THE MASK OF TUTANKHAMUN, THE GREATEST ARCHAEOLOGICAL DISCOVERY IN HISTORY. YEAR: 2022 SKEL commemorates the 100th anniversary of the discovery of Tutankhamun's tomb with an exact reproduction of his funerary mask, crafted in bronze using the lost-wax casting technique, a complex process involving numerous steps and specialized artisans. This sculpture recreates every detail of the young pharaoh's most characteristic features, such as the cobra or vulture on his forehead, his eyes, his long, curved beard, and, above all, the hieroglyphic writing on the back. An exclusive Artwork in a unique, limited, and numbered edition of nine series of 998 pieces each. The mask of Tutankhamun, discovered by Howard Carter in 1922, is the most beautiful object found in the field of archaeology and the crowning achievement of Egypt's golden age of art and culture. The young pharaoh's reign was brief due to his sudden death, but it served to break with the Amarna period, move the capital to Thebes, and decree a return to polytheism in Egypt with the opening of temples and the granting of privileges to the priests. It is currently on display at the Egyptian Museum in Cairo, awaiting its transfer to the Grand Egyptian Museum in Giza. Each sculpture of Tutankhamun's mask bears, on its inner back, the name of the pharaoh, along with the name and number of a precious stone, as well as a notarized document certifying its quality. For greater prominence, the sculpture rests on a travertine marble base. The sculpture is accompanied by the book *Tutankhamun: The Pharaoh, His Tomb, and the Royal Treasures*, an exploration of the most enigmatic pharaoh of Ancient Egypt through a series of insightful studies by four specialists, including the renowned archaeologist, Egyptologist, and former Minister of Antiquities, Zahi Hawass, one of the world's leading figures in Egyptian culture and art. This large-format book features spectacular images showcasing the pharaoh's mask and sarcophagus, many of the objects found in his tomb—part of Tutankhamun's vast treasure—and a comprehensive collection of photographs taken during the tomb's discovery and exploration in the 1920s. The sculpture and book are presented in an elegant black case that protects and stores the set. Its distinctive and attractive design also makes it a suitable decorative piece.

The paths and experiences that led him to this world of abstract art began unexpectedly. After years painting landscapes and figurative oil paintings, that moment was a ray of light, a spark of passion and enthusiasm, filled with thoughts and daydreams of expressing what chance, at times, flows through your mind with a sense of indifference. Motivation, sacrifice, and perseverance are necessary to achieve your own identity and allow you to visualize the unknown and profound inner world in order to transmit the gestural and informal magic onto the canvas, board, or paper. of a modus operandi that characterizes him. The creation of his Artworks allows him to communicate a style of influential sensations capable of attracting the viewer. My artistic journey began in the early 1980s with a strong inclination towards landscape painting and the use of oil paint, representing natural scenes with precision and sensitivity. This approach was focused on capturing the beauty of the environment through a figurative and technical language. Over time, I experienced an evolution in my style, moving away from realism to delve into abstract art. This change allowed me to free my creativity from formal limitations, exploring forms, colors, and textures that do not respond to a literal representation of the world, but rather to a more intimate and emotional reflection of my thoughts and perceptions. In abstraction, I found a freer and more personal medium to express what flows through my mind, allowing my emotions, ideas, and inner visions to take shape without restrictions. This transition marked a new stage in my Artwork, where gesture, spontaneity, and intuition became the protagonists. The content of this expression is the humble reflection of an abstract mind.
