Carved Apple by Anastassia Zamaraeva

Carved Apple by Anastassia Zamaraeva is a striking sgraffito sculpture that transforms the familiar form of an apple into a richly textured work of art. The deep red surface is intricately carved to reveal gilded layers beneath, depicting a graceful bird in flight surrounded by flowing, cloud-like patterns. A polished gold leaf detail on one side creates a luminous contrast, highlighting the artist’s mastery of surface, texture, and form. Blending natural imagery with decorative craftsmanship, the piece celebrates beauty, movement, and transformation.
