EPHEMERAL TREASURES SCULPTURE BY SPANISH ARTIST DULK

EPHEMERAL TREASURES SCULPTURE BY SPANISH ARTIST DULK’s original painting into porcelain, created in collaboration with Lladró as a limited series of 200 pieces. A pink and gold peacock carries the scene: its tail cascades in eye-marked feathers past a stone-carved tiger, while a horned, fantastical monkey looks after a working hourglass housed in a tiny turret, its sand marking the fragile time nature has left. 

About EPHEMERAL TREASURES BY DULK

Every detail is hand-built in porcelain by Lladró’s Ornamentation studio, working across gloss, matte, and metallic glazes to separate one texture from the next: the peacock’s feathers stay glossy and jewel-bright, while the tiger’s face shifts into carved stone partway through, moss creeping across the join. A gold snake coils near the hourglass tower, and small parrots perch along the peacock’s tail and at the tiger’s paw — quiet supporting details that reward a slow, close look. 

The symbolism runs as deep as the finish. The peacock stands for nature’s remaining beauty; the tiger, half already turned to stone, for how quickly that beauty can fade; the small skull inside its open jaw is a quieter reminder still. Above it all, a fantastical white monkey with golden horns keeps watch over the hourglass, marking time nature may not have much more of. Dulk built this allegory around the fauna of Asia’s jungles, and Lladró carried every symbolic layer from his original painting into three dimensions.

How to Display EPHEMERAL TREASURES BY DULK

At close to 24 inches tall and over 31 pounds, this piece needs real support — a solid console, a stone-topped table, or a dedicated pedestal, not a floating shelf. Give it space to be seen from more than one angle, since the hourglass tower, the snake, and the small parrots are easy to miss from straight on. A single accent light angled across the piece will catch the gloss-to-matte transition between the peacock and the stone-textured tiger beneath it.
