Noah's ark 2. (2026) Bronze sculpture by Toth Erno

🔶 ABOUT THE ARTWORK
This bronze sculpture is a masterful fusion of biblical symbolism, playfulness, and precise sculptural craftsmanship. I transform the traditional motif of the ark into a fantastic wheeled vessel and an allegorical chariot.
The artwork is divided into several levels and sections, where I have depicted a diverse fauna – from a majestic lion, to a giraffe, a hippo, a camel, and birds at the top of the composition – all with my characteristic expressive texture.

I deeply respect all religions and recognize their importance. I know the stories from the Bible well; many of them are very interesting, wise, and instructive, and have something to say even today.
However, the Old Testament in particular is too serious and harsh for my humorous and crazy nature. That is why I took the liberty of depicting one of the most famous biblical stories in an adapted and humorous form.
I hope that strictly religious people will not reproach me for this flight of my imagination.
And if you are asking why the ark has wheels, it is because when the water subsides, the ark will be able to move on land and Noah can find the most suitable place to settle down.


🔶 WHO DID I CREATE THIS SCULPTURE FOR?
For those who love stories but prefer to look at life and history with a touch of humor and exaggeration. It speaks directly to:
🔸 Art collectors looking for expressive, modern figurative bronze.
🔸 Lovers of storytelling and grotesque art who want a unique conversation piece.
🔸 Visionaries and entrepreneurs who appreciate the symbol of flexibility and resilience.
🔸 Free-spirited individuals who value tradition but love imagination and playfulness.


🔶 BEST SUITED INTERIORS
This sculpture functions as a powerful statement piece.
It perfectly fits into:
🔸 Modern and minimalist spaces.
🔸 Executive offices, boardrooms, and law firms.
🔸 Private libraries and classic studies.
🔸 Creative agencies, modern lofts, and eclectic spaces.


Important information:
Even if I state that there are 3-5 copies of a specific sculpture, each of them is actually an original. The technique of my work is atypical and I have to model every single piece of the same sculpture again and create a mold into which the bronze is then poured. Despite over 40 years of experience, even I cannot model any of the other variations of the same motif completely identically. There are minor differences between them, even though in principle it is the same work.
Sometimes it can happen that the work shown in the photo has already been sold in the meantime, and in the case of another order, I have to model this motif again from the beginning and have it cast into a new form. In this case, the time for sending the work is around 3 weeks, and it must be taken into account that this sculpture will differ in a few small details from the depicted work.
But the advantage is that, for the above reasons, the purchased work is unique, and a completely identical work can simply never exist.
