Nestled on the serene shores of Ithaa Fushi Island, the new Eden at Waldorf Astoria Maldives Ithaa Fushi proves to be a true gem for art lovers. Surrounded by the azure waters of the Indian Ocean and the greenery of the tropics, this gallery embodies a perfect harmony between the beauty of nature and the creativity of man.
A Monumental Sculpture
Among the works of art on display, one sculpture particularly attracts attention: a giant octopus by Eddy Maniez . This exceptional piece, measuring 2×2.70 meters, is a true testimony to the skill and patience of the artist. The creation of this sculpture required colossal work of precision and dexterity. The octopus's head alone, adorned with approximately 60,000 Swarovski crystals each painstakingly applied by hand, catches the light in a fascinating way, paying homage to the complexity and beauty of this sea creature.
Each octopus tentacle is carefully sculpted to reflect the graceful movement of this majestic animal, making it appear as if it is coming to life before viewers' eyes. Maniez uses his pointillist skills to bring unique texture and depth to his works, and this octopus sculpture is no exception.
