Davide

Description

Bust inspired by Michelangelo’s David, reinterpreted through a bold and contemporary language.
The perfection of the classical canon is disrupted by an unexpected gesture: glasses and chewing gum in the same color, acting as symbols of irony, freedom, and intelligent humor. A piece that plays with the contrast between idealized beauty and everyday elements, stripping the bust of its traditional solemnity without losing sculptural strength.

This bust belongs to the ByLucía collection ICONS ON BREAK.

ICONS ON BREAK COLLECTION

A collection of sculptural busts that reinterprets great icons from art history, culture, and the collective imagination through a contemporary lens. Traditionally solemn figures step down from their pedestal to appear more human, ironic, and current.
Glasses and chewing gum act as a shared gesture: a small act of rebellion that connects all the pieces and questions, with humor and design, the idea of the untouchable icon.

Hand-crafted and made to order
Each piece is produced on demand in our studio in Benissa, Spain. The creations take shape through an innovative manufacturing process: digitally designed and 3D printed, then carefully finished by hand, blending technological precision with artisanal craftsmanship.

Materials & Process
Our pieces are 3D printed using a biodegradable material derived from natural compounds. They then go through a meticulous hand-finishing process, where textures and eco-friendly paints inspired by nature and traditional artisanal finishes are applied, highlighting the dialogue between technology, craftsmanship, and the natural world.
Our 3D Printing Lab is fully powered by solar energy, minimizing environmental impact.

Customization
This piece can be personalized at no additional cost by choosing the color of the glasses and chewing gum.
