The Golden Elephant

Thanks for courtesy Zoo Miami Foundation

Gold Leaf Mosaic cut in artistic technique, various sizes

A life-size elephant, clad in a precious gold mosaic, takes shape as an extraordinary synthesis of art, material, and light. Its surface, composed of thousands of hand-laid tesserae, creates a vibrant and dynamic effect, enhancing every detail of the sculpture and capturing the viewer’s gaze from every angle.
It measures 3.40 meters in height and 2.60 meters in width.
Presented on the occasion of the Day dedicated to endangered animals and donated to the Miami Zoo, the project was conceived to raise awareness about the importance of protecting endangered species and their natural habitats.
TREND created and donated another life-size golden elephant, which is located in Parque Los Caobos in Caracas, Venezuela. It is called El Elefante Dorado and is admired for its grandeur and beauty.
