About the Article
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.

About the Artist
Umberto is a French artist who discovered his love for photography at a young age and later became interested in sculpting. His figurative and animal sculptures led him towards the world of artistic creation and his works are exhibited and sold to collectors around the world. Aquatic wildlife is one of his main sources of inspiration due to the movements, volumes, and singularity of this universe. With Daum, Umberto found the perfect material to sublimate his works. Crystal gives his Manta Ray sculptures a powerful yet lightweight appearance, enhanced by the material's light, colors, and transparency effects.
