Suiseki Figure – “Black Flames”

Description

A Dance of Stone and Fire

The Suiseki “Black Flames” by Felice Colombari is a mesmerizing natural sculpture, shaped over time into the form of a rising flame. Crafted from Palombino stone, its dark gray hue gives the impression of smoldering embers, capturing the dynamic energy of fire frozen in time. This striking piece embodies both movement and stillness, making it a powerful focal point in any collection.

A Fusion of Elemental Forces

Formed by nature’s slow artistry, the Palombino stone in “Black Flames” mimics the flickering rise of fire, with fluid, organic contours that evoke a sense of motion. Resting on a handcrafted koto wood daiza, the stone’s dramatic form is enhanced, bringing out the contrast between its deep charcoal tones and the rich warmth of the wood. The pairing of elements—fire, stone, and wood—creates a harmonious balance between power and tranquility.

A Collector’s Symbol of Energy and Transformation

Created by Felice Colombari, “Black Flames” is more than a suiseki—it is a symbol of energy, passion, and transformation. Whether displayed in a bonsai setting, an art collection, or a contemplative space, this piece invites the viewer to reflect on nature’s ability to shape and inspire, much like flames that dance yet never burn.
