Contemporary Modern Lion Mask Stainless Steel Sculpture, by Sebastian Novaky, whose creative Genius seem to know no bounds. He writes….
“The sculpture, crafted from stainless steel, presents a modern take on the traditional lion’s head motif. Its hollowed-out structure is both a nod to contemporary art aesthetics and a reflection of the transparency and fluidity often associated with African art forms. The geometric shapes and the play of light and shadow on the polished surface pay homage to the intricate patterns and designs found in African tribal art. The use of stainless steel not only gives the sculpture a sleek, modern look but also serves as a durable medium that can withstand the test of time, much like the enduring cultural legacy of the lion in African traditions.
During the creative process, I delved deep into African cultural studies, immersing myself in the art, history, and symbolism of the lion. I visited museums, studied ancient artifacts, and interacted with African artists and scholars. One particularly memorable experience was when I met an elderly African storyteller who shared tales of the lion’s heroic deeds in African folklore. Those stories inspired me to infuse the sculpture with a sense of grandeur and nobility, capturing the lion’s mythical status.

- The ArtParkS Guarantee
All the sculptures on the website are described by the artists themselves, stating the material they are made from and their dimensions. If they are stated to be suitable for outdoors, they have a guarantee of 10 years, subject to the effects of weathering, which will alter their colour and finish over the years unless you give them regular cleaning and maintenance.
For instance, bronze, and to a lesser extent bronze resin/cold cast bronze, will acquire a green patina, usually rather sought after. All can attract moss, lichen, and a greenish pollen, especially under trees, which should be removed regularly with warm water and washing-up liquid.
Iron and steel will oxidise (rust), and this falls outside our guarantee.
Organic material like wood and bark willow is variable and depends to a great extent on where it is sited. You should discuss any guarantee directly with the artist, as this too falls outside our guarantee.
