About The Artwork
Obviously, the space chosen to place it will assume animportance beyond the functional or practical component because the sculptural decoration of this fontdemands an art of influences. It is made of three parts. We find here some decorative features typical of the Visigoth art. First of all, the cup, with an octagonal structure, has got a decoration divided in three horizontal bands that incorporate geometrical motifs on both sides where there is a tendency towards schematism. With regard to the central BANDA, it is vegetal, with a “leitmotiv” quite recurrent in this style: a frieze of secant circles that create quadrifoliums as a trademark of the Visigoth sculpture and jewelry. Secondly, the shaft is a support consisting of an interior pillar lacking of ornamentation and flanked by four free-standing and protruding laminated pilasters. It usually symbolizes the cosmos. First of all, the world axis which the changing existences spin around, secondly, the interior pillar would be the center of the universe; lastly, the external four would be the four cardinal directions. In addition to this, the incorporation of the composite columns in this piece follows the same stylistic pattern above mentioned, because it frequently uses architectonic elements that are taken from the ruins of ancient roman times and which fit perfectly here. Last but not least, the pedestal or quadrangular base is paired with the capitals through the material (Capri limestone) to maintain equilibrium. The carving bevel adapted in the decoration makes the artisan nature of the work stand out and creates a relief which contrasts lights and shadows.

Firstly, beauty and then, beauty, that is the order. Da Capo Sculpture is an aesthetic laboratory in a constant search of beauty (the way we think about it which promotes a handmade and delicate work. Such task avoids rhetoric, lies and adulation. Our designs can be summed up in the expression “fine art”. We often find that preferences and inspiration for our production come from old creations, decorative motifs, architectural elements and classic concepts, all of them of considerable charm and worthy of being replicated. Our firm intention is working in what we consider that enchants public despite the years. With the intention of offering everything above mentioned, we trace the origin and eliminate what seems unnecessary of the raw material. We consciously break the stone, make its scars stand out and praise its imperfections. In short, we show instead of hiding. This hypothesis could not be formulated without the skills of the one who took chisels and pointers as his own family, and is still holding them more than two decades later. Similarly, hiss kills require as much strength as control, care and ability. The tools, which seem to be an extension of his hands, result in the aesthetic experience showing great discipline. It was already announced: it is not what we know, but what we live. Here forth, we want you to be part of the effect that contemplating beauty brings about and the emotion hidden in Da Capo Escultura.
