Straight from his studio, Opera Gallery Dubai is thrilled to showcase his inspiring new collection including pieces such as the ‘Fantasia aux cinq chevaux’, ‘Fanatsia aux sept cavaliers’, ‘Petit chapiteau’ and ‘Rivage corail’ to name a few.
Mauro Corda, known in the region through his iconic sculptures on display at The Ritz Carlton hotel in DIFC, transforms bronze, marble and iron materials into delicate portraits of people in the most diverse roles, environments and situations. Opera Gallery Dubai celebrates his work showcasing a taste of his most significant pieces highlighting Corda’s creativity and deep fascination with the human body aiming to capture the shape of the soul. The selections on show include the ‘Dwarves Series’ in fluid bronze demonstrating male beauty and the elegance of the unconventional of the human figure.
