The “Solitude Forestière” sculpture depicts an origami-faceted wolf, capturing both the complexity of its contours and the elegant simplicity of its form. Measuring 78 centimetres high, 37 centimetres wide and 101 centimetres long, this work magnifies the majesty and mystery of the lone wolf.

Carefully crafted from a variety of materials, including corten, steel and stainless steel, each brings unique nuances to the artistic expression. Corten, for example, offers a rustic texture and a natural patina that evolves over time, while steel or stainless steel can be polished to create smooth surfaces that reflect light, accentuating the geometric facets of the work.

In this depiction, the wolf is captured in a contemplative posture, its four paws firmly anchored to the ground. Its head is slightly tilted, as if it were observing in the distance, expressing both deep tranquility and silent curiosity. This emotional ambiguity – lost in thought or staring at a goal to be achieved – invites viewers to interpret and feel the spiritual connection with the wilderness.

The sculpture “Solitude Forestière” can be viewed as a stand-alone piece or integrated with other works, such as “Hurlement Bestial”, to create a larger, evocative composition. Together, these sculptures represent not only the individual strength of the wolf, but also the complex dynamics and solidarity of a pack, reinforcing the theme of wildlife and survival in the wild.

When it comes to finishes, there are many choices to enrich the visual impact of “Solitude Forestière”. It can be left with a rough finish to emphasize the original texture of the material, or painted with an epoxy finish to add depth and protection. A varnish could also be applied to preserve the work’s lustre and accentuate the details of the origami facets, or the use of leather as a finish could add a unique tactile texture to this sculptural representation.

In short, “Solitude Forestière” transcends the simple contours of a sculpture to become a visual meditation on the beauty and fragility of wildlife. Every artistic decision, from the choice of materials to that of finishes, contributes to enriching its emotional and aesthetic narrative, offering viewers an immersive and memorable experience of nature in its purest form.
