Sculptor Ernest Massuet

A spectacular sculpture made in black porcelain, inspired by the legendary gladiators of the Roman empire.

This creation represents with amazing faithfulness and detail the figure of a gladiator. Warriors who defended their lives fighting against other gladiators or against wild beasts to entertainment the public in the Roman arena. This sculpture speaks of men who defended their life with honor and fortitude, despite the circumstances they had to endure. Made in black porcelain, it is decorated with copper, dark grey and black enamels with metallic effects, combined with the aged silver luster in the armor. The shield is decorated with black luster with marble effect and the helmet is also decorated with aged silver luster. The sword, which almost looks like real metal, is porcelain. In addition, the piece comes with a removable metal mask covering the gladiator’s face which is held in place by an ingenious system of magnets. A truly unique work, striking for both its size and for the sculptural treatment.

Handmade porcelain sculpture of a boxer, decorated with gold and silver lusters

Stepping into a ring and confronting a rival calls for discipline, tough training, and the courage to face up to pain and defeat. Perhaps for this reason, boxing is a metaphor for life that thrills millions of spectators around the world and has inspired great works of art. This porcelain sculpture portrays a champion in the middle of a fight. The precise realist modeling outlines every muscle of his body and every feature of his expression, concentrated on the next blow. The decoration of the piece is equally special: matte black for the body, glazed white for the gloves and golden and silver luster for the shorts and boots.

Boxer is a sculpture inspired by a sport with deep cultural roots. Boxing is a way of transforming fighting into a ritual, of subjecting physical strength to a discipline with highly demanding rules. From ancient times right up until the present, boxing fights have brought together whole communities around an intense and vibrant event. A tough, difficult undertaking but one that also imposes equality and respect. In the ring, it does not matter where you are from or what your social status is; what counts is the skill and determination of the boxer.

This porcelain creation seeks to capture these values of commitment, courage, and strength. With his powerful body and perfect pugilistic skills Boxer portrays all the grandeur of a demanding sport that thrills and fires up audiences all over the world.
