About the Item

**ATTENTION** This piece can not be shipped. It need to be sold in California where the showroom is located in Los Angeles. California residents will receive free white glove delivery in installation by the artist. The body of this one of a kind sculpture is made of bronze resting on a thick piece of glass with a wood base. Then the artist encrusted it with original seashells from large to small, with some rare pieces. To keep everything in place, several layers of resin were place over the whole sculpture giving it that special shinning. The ocean is captured on one of the two large shells on the base of the sculpture: Resin with a special green pigment representing the Caribbean water. On the other large shell a large pearl is showing inside. (Last two pictures) The metal base below the piece can have a 360 degrees turn. Feel free to change the look of the piece on the weekly basis by turning the sculpture and exploiting all the possible sides of it. **IF you wish a demonstration video and see the piece in more details, just request a video and we will be happy to make one just for you** This is one of a kind piece that no one else on the Planet Earth will have it. Bring this unique piece to your home and fill it with great energy from the oceans. Brazilian artist Mauro Oliveira creates artworks using special automotive detailing tape, acrylic paint, pencils and other creative media, finishing his artworks with several layers of resin for an immaculate and super glossy finish. The exceptionally shiny varnish gives Mauro’s pieces a delightful reflection and a finished look. Many of his geometric pieces are named after specific places and skylines that inspired the artwork. Each artwork is precisely planned out and there is little room for error with his technique, which makes each piece equally stunning. Mauro believes the artist should express their emotions and feelings through art. Each piece should have a beginning, middle and an end, with an individual outlook and interpretation for each observer. “What I might be really trying to do with my art, is to represent the complexity of the inner self in a simple clean way using vivid colors. My only hope is that every piece touches the viewer somehow.” Mauro Oliveira was born in Sao Paulo, Brazil and raised on the outskirts under extreme poverty, with no running water or electricity. He and his six siblings were sent to a military state-run orphanage after both parents passed away in their 30’s. He feels that he is living proof that people’s generosity can save lives and make dreams come true. His passion for the United States and art started at age 9 in the orphanage. An American woman, a good Samaritan, visited the orphanage looking to adopt an orphan and Mauro became close with her. However, she ended up adopting his best friend, as she did not want to separate him from his brothers and sisters. Before she left, she told him crying in broken Portuguese that if he stayed out of trouble and studied hard, he too would make it to the U.S. one day. His first art project, age 10, was to paint and decorate the plain tin piggy-banks, that were given out free by the banks and then selling them. He encouraged and supervised the other children to do the same and raised funds for food. He did stay out of trouble, studied hard and surmounted every obstacle in his way, dreaming of making it to America one day. He made it to college with straight A’s and won a student exchange program contest sponsored by the Federal University of Uberlandia, Brazil. He studied Journalism and the Arts and immigrated to the U.S. in 1990. Mauro has worked in several different art media from oil pastels and charcoal sketches to clay sculptures. His greatest influences are Spanish artists Pablo Picasso and Joan Miro. Oliveira's artworks have been exhibited throughout the US as well as internationally, most recently in Hong Kong, Los Angeles and New York.
