Product description
A striking and highly collectible work by acclaimed Slovak academic artist Alojz Petráš, this monumental wall sculpture from 1979 is an exceptional example of late-mid-century European wood art.
Carved from two solid pieces of oak, the artwork unfolds into an organic, architectural form evocatively titled “Nest.” Its flowing contours, warm grain, and sculptural depth convey the essence of sanctuary and origin — a symbolic bird’s nest cradling life at its centre.
Privately held for decades in the distinguished Bratislava residence of a well-known physician, the piece has been preserved in excellent, untouched original condition. Its generous scale makes a commanding statement on any wall, instantly anchoring interiors with both warmth and sophistication.
A perfect match for collectors of mid-century modern, Brutalist woodwork, and European studio art, this is a rare opportunity to acquire an authentic, museum-quality sculpture by one of Slovakia’s notable 20th-century artists.
Highly decorative, deeply tactile, and absolutely unique — a standout piece that will not remain available for long.
