In "Samothrace," Martic's sculptural brilliance takes form through the fusion of 316L stainless steel and brass inlay, a harmonious testament to the interplay of materials. The sculpture, a representation of a woman's chest, exudes an ethereal aura heightened by the golden-plated heart. The figure's curves and contours, masterfully crafted from stainless steel, become an exquisite canvas for the intricate brass inlay that dances upon its surface. The selective gilding of the chest infuses the artwork with a luminous quality, an emblem of timeless beauty and significance. Martic's creation elevates the ordinary into the extraordinary, inviting viewers to embrace the exquisite juxtaposition of strength and refinement, metal and artistry, to reimagine the concept of the human form.
