Half-Faced David — Sculptural Candle

Inspired by Michelangelo’s David — one of the most celebrated sculptures of the Renaissance — this piece abstracts the face into a contemporary sculptural surface. Rather than replicating the original, it isolates expression and embeds it within minimal structure.

The result is a dialogue between classical heritage and modern design.

Crafted in natural wax. Designed to burn.

The History

Michelangelo’s David, completed in 1504, became a defining symbol of Renaissance mastery — celebrated for anatomical precision, emotional restraint, and sculptural balance.

By reinterpreting a fragment of the face within a simplified geometric body, this piece reflects the enduring influence of classical art while embracing contemporary abstraction.

The Form

Defined by subtle facial emergence and architectural silhouette, Half-Faced David introduces contrast and depth into curated interiors. The partial relief creates shadow and intrigue, making it a refined focal point for minimalist, art-inspired spaces.

Designed to function as decorative sculpture before it is ever lit.
