"Life Force" caught my eye!
When I spotted this combination I didn't hesitate buying one. I am gemstone collector and love learning about the mystical healing powers of gemstones like, Celestite, Onyx, Aragonite, Jasper and Serpentine, just to name a few. I just received it over the weekend and I know; as soon as my granddaughters spot it I will have a hard time keeping them from constantly picking it up. I will be buying more gemstone sculptures like this obelisk. Thank you Cesar Gonzales for creating beautiful pieces of art from mother natures beautiful creations.
Exqusite and dynamic!
I have a lot of folk art, including a number of other pieces from John Barrow, and I am mostly only interested in depictions of animals, plants, and geometric forms, not humans. However the colors of the women's dress, combined with the condor, make this one of only a handful of pieces I have in my collection depicting humans, and I am extremely happy with it! One thing I realized I especially love about this piece is the dynamism that comes from having the condor sticking out away from the piece's center of gravity.
