About The Artwork
The carved stones of these graves keep religious images of with beautiful vegetable motifs as if they were ship's figureheads in the direction of the afterlife. Also, some images and scenes making reference to a new religion are represented. They are the proof of the propagation of the Christian faith in the south-east of Gaul. The slightly enigmatic symbol shows constantly the concern of the first Christian believers trying to get a language to communicate, identify themselves or even adopt their ideology and devotions. The necropolis located in the basement of the Saint-Raymon museum in Toulouse guard a small but amazing collection of Christian sarcophagus of the IV and V century A.D. In this tombs there are roman models that could only be afforded by the richest inhabitants in the country. They are the most numerous influences and they are going to be furthest from the next roman influences, with vegetal stylized decoration, whose relief wasn’t quite highlighted , with abstract and geometrical patterns with braid-shaped or grapevine that could contain the Christ monogram. Such is the case of the piece we are describing. A decoration that creates the last abode and whose relieves shimmer with art and life, compared to the current trivial standardization.

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.
