ANRI Juan Ferrandiz 'Spring Arrivals' Carved Wood and Bronze Hand Bell

This hand bell is crafted in wood and bronze. The figure of the girl holding a bouquet was designed by the artist Juan Ferrandiz, a painter who wrote poetry and a poet who painted pictures. His subjects include various small animals: cats, dogs, mice, rabbits, squirrels, birds, always united as symbols of fraternity in harmony with the innocence of shildhood. His style is like a kind of renewal of the forms, expressing itself in a feeling of juvenile tenderness and vigor.

The complete opus of Ferrandiz is turned to create a world of love, of comprehension, of poetry, to unite the aspirations, to banish the hatred, to favor peace in the world with an honest message.

This figurine was carved from a single block of wood. Every single cut was worked by hand and every detail carefully hand brushed with special transparent oil-based colors so that the beauty of the wood grain remains visible. The bell is made of bronze. The figure has a facsimile signature of Ferrandiz incised on the back.
