About this artwork
Realistic, life-size creation based on Yamaha 500XV crankcases.
The steel tube frame is shaped, bent and welded by the artist, according to an imaginary and therefore unprecedented aesthetic.
Pieces of colored glass, assembled using the stained glass technique, replace the original engine casings.
This same technique is used for the design of the tank and the decoration of the wheels.
The theme, solely because of the shimmering colors of the… lenses, is the sun.
