Eternal

Bronze sculpture with "patina" coloration; 23" height, mounted on marble base; edition limited to 22 signed and numbered works plus three Artist’s Proofs. Also available in ceramic in the size shown, as well as a miniature 10" height.

"Eternal" is based on the scientific infinity symbol and is the abstraction of manís most inspired symbol for universal imagination, the flame. The flame is symbolic of never ending passion while conveying the strength and power of Mankind’s fascination with "eternity" and the human love of the unknown. This work of art unites the mystery of the past with the endless possibilities of the future.

Dance Fantasy

Bronze sculpture with "patina" coloration; 23" height by 13" by 9", edition of fifteen signed and numbered works with choice of coloration.

This bronze portrays the essential feeling of a dancer in flight. Through abstract line and form, the artist emulates the strengths, passion, and harmonious balance of a humanistic leap through time and space. In the momentary experience of weightlessness where reality and dreams merge amid ultimate beauty and grace, "Dance Fantasy" sculpturally captures our primal desire for sensations of bliss through the union of movement and disciplined control.

Bronze sculpture, 31" height by 8" by 9", with patina coloration edition of 22 signed and numbered works plus three Artist's Proofs.

In this abstract free flowing bronze, Maui artist Will Herrera combines an aesthetic flavor of Art Deco with a theme dating back to the days of Greek mythology. The resurgent bird rises from the ashes in a sculptural commentary on the creative process and the relentlessness of the universal spirit of nature and humanity.

Shadow Dance

Bronze high polished sculpture, edition of nine works plus one Artist’s Proof and in a choice of "patina" surface coloration in an edition limited to twelve works; 24" height by 10" by 7", including the marble base which measures 7" height by 6" by 6".

Sunlight and shadows constantly engage in endless combinations of line and form in the shoreline waters surrounding Maui. The artistís high speed photography of fascinating shapes of leaping water as waves crashed against the sand led to the inspiration for this sculpture.

The Scratchings of Modern Man

Original ceramic sculpture with low fire glazes, platinum and 24 kt. gold on surface.

Excavation for a new resort on the island of Maui led Will Herrera to speak out sculpturally when over nine hundred skulls were discovered. The primitive "scaffolding" like forms in this work of art are built on a form with rounded footing. In this way the artist introduces the question of balance. The ring (the continuation of life) passes through the golden ring of knowledge. The gold skull cap of the ancients speaks of respect as well as bringing into focus the spiritual wealth of civilizations past.

Continuum

36" height, ceramic with low fire glazes and gold on surface, edition of 8 one of a kind "glazed" works plus one Artist’s Proof.

Based on the infinity symbol, this work translates the beauty of balancing two equal quantities or forms in the language of sculpture. The harmony and movement of an abstract interplay of never ending beauty allows the viewer to find a multitude of images from nature in this sculpture.
