Federico García Lorca

The artistic nude represents a cornerstone of Western art history. Always used to represent the ideal of male and female beauty, it still plays a central role in the decoration of a wide variety of residential, exhibition and commercial settings.

MATERIALS.

White Carrara marble is the marble par excellence, the natural Italian stone known and appreciated all over the world both for its incomparable aesthetic qualities and for its structural, physical and morphological characteristics, which make it unique and incredibly versatile. All the great sculptors have measured themselves against this material, which in the clearest variety is called, not surprisingly, Statuary. It is the marble of the great Italian Renaissance, which consigned to immortality the magnificence of cities like Florence and works like Michelangelo’s David.

Crystalline marble, varying in grain from fine to medium, is homogeneous and compact and suitable for any finish. It is preferable to place it indoors; for outdoor environments it is advisable to evaluate the specific conditions. It falls into the category of polishable stones. It is suitable for any type of finish, but the glossy finish is the most commonly used to bring out the elegance of its streaks.

Always used in sacred sites, funerary art, and monumental coverings, it is also finding a place in the creation of flooring and furniture intended for valuable indoor environments, as well as in valuable decorative objects intended to last.

Breccia Gray marble is a durable and compact stone whose color can range from light gray to darker, almost black tones. It has prominent veins and white spots.

Because of its eventful structure, each individual slab of Breccia marble is like a work of art created by nature.

The pigment’s resistance to moisture makes it a suitable material not only for interior decoration and cladding (floors, stairs, marble bathrooms), but also for exterior flooring and cladding, and because it is polishable to a mirror finish, it is suitable for any beautification work.
