Made of glass paste, it reveals transparency as a universal language and the harmony between light and material. Its play of light and transparency sublimates the meeting of know-how and emotion, creating a fascinating aura. Every detail testifies to exceptional craftsmanship and a passion for creation. A poetic and timeless work by Daum, where art and nature come together.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSince 1995, Daum has maintained a faithful and inspired collaboration with the French sculptor Dominique Vial. Trained at the Beaux-Arts in Paris and influenced by her mentor Paul Belmondo, the artist is distinguished by a sensitive and dreamlike work, where the frozen gesture becomes emotional language. More than eleven sculptures have been born from this artistic complicity, each imbued with delicacy, intimacy, and poetry. Dominique Vial draws on Surrealism for a subtle form of expression, on the border between dream and memory. Her works capture suspended moments: an embrace, a metamorphosis, a kiss, as many fragments of the soul deposited in matter. *The Book of the Kiss* , *Alcyone* , and * Célyx* are crystalline sculptures that evoke the silence of profound emotions, the murmur of the invisible. Her artistic style blends symbolic figuration, contained expressiveness, and a pronounced taste for suggestion rather than demonstration . She works with fluid, stylized, often feminine forms, where the body becomes an allegory, where the shadow of a movement suggests the intensity of a story. Her sculpture invites inner contemplation, an intuitive and sensitive reading of matter. With crystal paste, Vial finds a medium that matches her sensitivity: translucent, vibrant, tactile. She sculpts light to reveal what words leave unspoken. The warm tones, the refined forms, and the slender volumes of her works reveal a feminine, airy, profoundly human universe. This collaboration with Daum, rooted in time and trust, is among the most poetic in the House's repertoire. Dominique Vial gives body to the intimate, and through crystal, transmits a rare artistic breath, blending classicism, symbolism, and gentle unreality.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSee more \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/daum-crystal-art-editions\"\u003eDaum Crystal Art Editions\u003c\/a\u003e","brand":"Daum Crystal","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":68184054956268,"sku":"05802","price":8340.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0034\/0295\/6918\/files\/daum-crystal-05802-front.jpg?v=1794435155","url":"https:\/\/www.biggsltd.com\/products\/daum-crystal-alcyone-limited-edition-05802","provider":"Biggs Ltd","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
