This exclusive sculpture combines cutting-edge technology with traditional craftsmanship. The sculpture’s core is a high-precision form made of PLA, a sustainable, bio-based plastic. Through an intricate, multi-day process, the piece is electroplated with a layer of genuine copper. Its distinctive, vibrant depth is achieved through a subsequent chemical patination process: the shades of verdigris and oxidation result from actual chemical reactions, making this sculpture a truly unique, one-of-a-kind piece. The symbiosis of digital design and classic electroforming gives the work an extraordinary tactile quality and visual dynamism as it rests on its base. Finished with high-quality acrylic accents. The sculpture "Die Vestalinnen" (The Vestal Virgins) by Andreas Loeschner-Gornau presents itself as a complex, dynamic, and vertical work of art set against a simple, light-gray to white background. The artwork is centrally positioned and fills most of the frame's vertical space. Two views of a tall, abstract sculpture presented against a bright, softly shaded white background. The sculpture is titled "The Power of Myths" (*Die Kraft der Mythen*) and was created by sculptor Andreas Loeschner-Gornau. Each view reveals an organically shaped, fluid, and intertwined structure reminiscent of interwoven roots, coral-like formations, or stylized human figures. The sculpture rises vertically from a broader base, tapering upward to a rounded tip. Several winding strands form the main body, twisting around one another to create distinctive lens-shaped or oval openings and voids that emphasize the structure's dynamism and lightness. The sculpture’s surface is richly textured, featuring a rough, almost blistered or porous quality dotted with small bumps and depressions. This gives it a tactile, aged appearance, similar to weathered metal or stone. The coloration is striking and iridescent. A deep red or rust-orange base color shows through an overlying layer in many places. This red layer is partially overlaid by a bold, metallic gold finish, applied irregularly to create highlights; in many areas, the dominant gold appears slightly worn or chipped. Additionally, a turquoise or blue-green patina blends unevenly and patchily with the gold and red tones, evoking the impression of a natural oxidation process or ancient weathering. The combination of these colors lends the sculpture a mystical, primordial character. The lighting originates primarily from the upper left, casting subtle shadows across the surfaces and into the sculpture's voids, thereby enhancing its three-dimensional quality and complex structure. The view on the left presents the sculpture from a more frontal perspective, while the view on the right is slightly angled, revealing different facets and depths of the twisting forms. Overall, the sculpture radiates a powerful, organic energy. Its interwoven form and aged, iridescent coloring evoke associations with myth, history, and the enduring nature of the natural world.
