Pair of "Waves" ceramic sculptures by Guido Mariani, Italy, 1980s. An elegant pair of artistic ceramic sculptures created by master ceramist Guido Mariani, one of the most respected exponents of contemporary ceramics. They represent a refined abstract composition inspired by the movement of sea waves, characterized by fluid, sinuous lines that develop in a harmonious interplay of swirls and curves. The surface is embellished with a sophisticated iridescent metallic luster finish, which reflects the light with shifting hues of anthracite gray, blue, purple, and bronze, enhancing the three-dimensionality of the forms and showcasing the artist's technical mastery. They are distinguished by the artist's mark on the base, certifying their authenticity and provenance from the prestigious ceramic tradition of Faenza. This pair represents a significant example of Guido Mariani's production, in which abstract language merges with references to nature, transforming the dynamism of water and waves into elegant sculptural forms with a contemporary taste.
