'Fending off destruction', an impressive sculpture by the talented artist Elvio Becheroni, is a touching chapter in the 'Amazonia' series on the disenchanted forest, which was born in 1992. Made from the noble wood of Pau Brazil, its origins can be traced back to logs recovered from the devastating fires that marked the Amazon rainforest during the relentless march of deforestation. In its profound essence, each of Becheroni's creations is a powerful denunciation of the serious and ongoing problem of Amazon deforestation. At the core of Becheroni's art is an unshakeable faith in the delicate symbiosis between humanity and nature. His work is a hymn to hope, a testament to memory and a tribute to remembrance, echoing the very essence of the trees that have borne witness to the ravages of time. The wood, painstakingly collected during the artist's long stays in Brazil, encapsulates the spirit of the Amazon. With each work, Becheroni carries a piece of the forest's soul, a tangible link with the untamed beauty that is slowly disappearing. In 'Fending off destruction', Becheroni's vision unfolds in a powerful way. The sculpture takes on a form adorned with long spines, meticulously crafted from wood. These spines symbolise protection, a defence mechanism against humanity's grave transgressions on the natural world. They stand tall and unwavering, like guardians of the forest, resolute in their mission to shield against evil. This sculpture is more than a work of art: it is a statement. It reminds us of our collective responsibility to protect and preserve the environment. It prompts us to reflect on the consequences of our actions and to consider the fragile balance that sustains our world. For those who care about nature, 'Fending off destruction' is more than just a piece of furniture: it is a powerful emblem of their commitment to the cause. It resonates with those who firmly believe that we must defend nature with the same fervour with which nature has defended us throughout the ages. In Defending Against Destruction. Elvio Becheroni has given voice to the Amazon, to the trees and to the silent call of the earth itself. It is a work of art that speaks to the soul, an emotional testimony to our duty to protect the natural world and to ensure a better future for future generations.
