Introducing Time's Embrace, a mesmerizing sculpture that brings the surrealism of Salvador Dalí's iconic melting watch to life. This stunning piece, measuring 35 x 20 x 20 cm, captures the essence of Dalí's dreamlike world, where time seems to melt away in the face of nature's eternal beauty. Mounted on a tree branch, this sculpture is a powerful blend of natural elements and surrealist art, making it a standout piece for collectors, art enthusiasts, and anyone who appreciates the boundary-pushing creativity of Dalí.
Time's Embrace is not just a sculpture; it's a statement about the fluidity of time and the interconnectedness of art and nature. This piece is designed to captivate, inspire, and provoke thought, making it a perfect addition to any space where imagination is valued and creativity is celebrated.
Exquisite Craftsmanship
Crafted with meticulous attention to detail, Time's Embrace is a testament to the skill and vision of its creator. The sculpture features a tree branch that is delicately rendered to capture the rough, natural texture of wood, while the melting watch draped over it is smooth and fluid, creating a striking contrast between the organic and the surreal.
The watch's face, with its distorted numbers and hands, is reminiscent of Dalí's famous painting, “The Persistence of Memory," evoking the idea that time is not fixed but rather fluid and ever-changing. The tree branch, rooted in the earth yet supporting the watch, symbolizes the enduring connection between time and nature, grounding the surreal elements of the piece in a tangible reality.
A Tribute to Surrealism and Nature
Time's Embrace is more than just a decorative object; it is a tribute to the surrealist movement and the innovative genius of Salvador Dalí. The melting watch, a symbol of the flexibility and subjectivity of time, is a hallmark of Dalí's work, and this sculpture captures that concept in a three-dimensional form that is both visually stunning and intellectually engaging.
The inclusion of the tree branch adds a layer of depth to the sculpture, connecting the abstract concept of time with the natural world. This juxtaposition of the surreal and the natural creates a piece that is both thought-provoking and visually appealing, making Time's Embrace a must-have for anyone who appreciates the intersection of art and philosophy.
Versatile Decor for Artistic Spaces
With its bold design and symbolic depth, Time's Embrace is the perfect addition to a wide range of artistic spaces. Its 35 x 20 x 20 cm size makes it a versatile piece that can be displayed on a shelf, desk, or pedestal, allowing you to showcase it in a way that best suits your space.
The sculpture's surreal design and organic elements make it a focal point in any room, whether you're looking to add a touch of sophistication to your living room, create a conversation starter in your office, or enhance your art collection with a piece that embodies the essence of surrealism. Time's Embrace fits seamlessly into both modern and eclectic decor styles, adding a touch of the extraordinary to any environment.
Premium Quality and Durability
Time's Embrace is crafted from high-quality materials, ensuring that this sculpture will remain a cherished part of your collection for years to come. The durable construction and expertly applied finish are designed to resist wear, preserving the intricate details and striking contrasts that make this piece so special.

Presentation
Dervis Akdemir, born in 1997, is a British sculptor specializing in pop art and minimalistic designs. He graduated from King's College London and he earned The Architectural Imagination certificate from Harvard University. Akdemir gained recognition when one of his artworks was featured in a recent season of Love Island, subsequently showcased in Hello Magazine. In a remarkably brief period, his sculptures garnered acclaim, earning distinctions such as Best of May on Artfinder, Beulah's Portrait Picks, and recognition in Minimalist Interior design picks by editors.
Akdemir draws inspiration from Greek Mythology and historical events that have shaped contemporary society. Each of his designs skillfully combine contrasting elements, challenging the concept of impossibility. Working with natural materials like clay and plaster, he employs ancient methods to craft each sculpture. Influenced by notable artists such as Banksy and Andy Warhol, Akdemir infuses modern elements into simple sculptures. His works have graced exhibitions at the Parallax Art Fair and the British Library, notably during the Alexander the Great exhibition, showcasing his commitment to both historical and contemporary artistic influences.
