Depictions of animals have been among the preferred themes of the Daum manufactory since the beginning of the 20th century. It was Almaric Walter with Antonin Daum who inspired the animal movement under the influence of naturalism and the Art Nouveau movement. The manufactory then created decorative objects made of glass paste and realistic animal sculptures with a very astonishing polychromy.
.Carlos Mata was a Spanish sculptor, born in 1949 in Palma de Mallorca and passed away in July 2008. The countryside, landscapes from his childhood, horses, and bulls served as sources of inspiration for the artist. In his work, he experimented with elementary forms and utilized the various colors, textures, and irregularities of oxidized cast iron. For Daum, he created Troya and Cabeza. Troya, a majestic piece with vibrant colors, transports us to memories of the renowned Trojan horse. Cabeza, with its beautiful curves and striking color variations, amplifies the imaginative dimension of the artwork.
For over a century, Daum, the renowned master of glassmaking, has maintained a close relationship with some of the greatest artists of its time. By transforming their artwork into crystal and color, Daum has given their pieces a second life. From the Art Nouveau and Art Decoratif movements to the works of Majorelle, Dali, Arman, and Hilton McConnico, Daum has always been present at the magical rendezvous of artistic creation and modern savoir-faire. This has helped to renew the alliance between art and craftsmanship.Daum has worked with an extraordinary number of artists, collaborating with over 350 exceptional signatures in its almost 140-year history. This has resulted in an unparalleled heritage and a unique collection.What makes Daum stand out is its exceptional ability to transform these works into crystal sculptures. This secret lies in its highly knowledgeable workshop, a laboratory of wonders that shapes the exception and designs incomparable objects.
