“José María Leal and Enrique Castellanos sculpt and sacralise a royal cedar”

José María Leal, an image sculptor, finds in nature a source of inspiration. He has created, in collaboration with the master gilder Enrique Castaños, a work of great aesthetic beauty with an enormous symbolic charge. Out of the nobility of the carved wood, sacralized with fine gold, emanates both a moving strength and a sweetness that the contemporary manufacture of the piece only enhances.
