Nestled on the serene shores of Ithaa Fushi Island, the new Eden at the Waldorf Astoria Maldives Ithaa Fushi is a true gem for art lovers. Surrounded by the azure waters of the Indian Ocean and lush tropical vegetation, this gallery embodies a perfect harmony between the beauty of nature and human creativity.
A Monumental Sculpture
Among the exhibited artworks, one sculpture in particular stands out: a giant octopus by Eddy Maniez . This exceptional piece, measuring 2 x 2.70 meters, is a true testament to the artist's skill and patience. Creating this sculpture required colossal amounts of precision and dexterity. The octopus's head alone, adorned with approximately 60,000 Swarovski crystals, each meticulously applied by hand, captures the light in a mesmerizing way, paying homage to the complexity and beauty of this marine creature.
Each tentacle of the octopus is meticulously sculpted to reflect the graceful movement of this majestic creature, giving the impression that it comes to life before the viewer's eyes. Maniez uses his pointillist skills to bring a unique texture and depth to his works, and this octopus sculpture is no exception.
