About the Item

This sculptural metal work depicts a finely rendered ant in motion, carrying a broad green leaf across its back. Executed with a balance of realism and whimsy, the piece showcases thoughtful proportions, expressive posture, and a warm, well-considered color palette. The ant is finished in rich brown tones with subtle variation, while the leaf is rendered in natural green, creating a pleasing contrast that enhances the sense of movement and narrative. The craftsmanship suggests intentional studio production, with attention paid to both form and surface treatment. Made by South American artist Gerardo Fernandez, this piece works equally well as a decorative sculpture or as a playful accent within a curated interior. Its scale allows it to function as a standalone statement on a console, shelf, or pedestal.
