As many artists, contributes with his work to enrich this beautiful arabian garden. The sculpture born from the space, musicality of the water, and the romantic air of the environment. A enormously evocative piece, symbol of a mix about hope and the fear when an artist faces with his muse, inspiration or spectator.
