A Raw Power Captured in Crystal
Unleash the spirit of the wild with the Daum Panther Head, a bold limited-edition crystal sculpture by renowned animal sculptor Patrick Villas. This exclusive creation—limited to just 125 pieces—marks Villas' first collaboration with Maison Daum, blending his raw, expressive sculpting style with the luminous depth of Daum crystal.
Patrick Villas, trained at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Antwerp and now based in France, is celebrated for his dynamic, emotionally charged animal sculptures. Influenced by masters such as Antoine-Louis Barye and Rembrandt Bugatti, Villas brings a contemporary edge to classic animalier art. His work avoids polished perfection in favor of vigorous textures that honor the strength, character, and spirit of his subjects.
The Panther Head sculpture radiates a commanding presence. Crafted using the lost-wax technique, every detail—every rough edge and artistic stroke—remains visible, capturing a fleeting moment of feline grace and intensity. This raw treatment contrasts brilliantly with the smooth, luminous crystal, creating a visual tension that elevates the sculpture into the realm of fine art.
The result is not just a sculpture—it's an emotional statement. Under shifting light, the piece comes alive, its surfaces revealing new depths and dimensions that speak to the viewer in a visceral way. Villas’ intention is clear: “I use shadows and natural light to create a living interaction between the viewer and the work. I suggest the details and the shadows complete them.”
This work of art is not only a testament to Daum’s legendary craftsmanship, but also to Villas’ artistic legacy. A true collector’s piece, ideal for connoisseurs of contemporary sculpture, luxury crystal, or high-end decorative arts.
