Giant Trevally Duo

Giant Trevally | Fish

Giant Trevally Duo Sculpture in Bronze

Caranx ignobolis

An efficient saltwater predator that hunts alone or in packs. Giant Trevally are one of the most exciting fish to catch on fly, it deserves a place in the game fish hall of fame. To sculpt them I used sharp lines to create tension, and softer tones for feel.

Bonefish Trio

Bonefish | Fish

Bonefish Trio Sculpture in Bronze

Albula vulpes

My love for bonefish has taken me to some of the world’s most special uninhabited locations. Bonefish frequent the shallows and blend in very well with their surroundings – it is this elusive quality that I tried to capture in this sculpture.

Title: Bonefish Trio

Edition: 15

Size: 71 x 27 x 68cm

Material composition: Patinated Bronze on a Granite, Wood or Crystal Base
