Bronze sculpture, ‘Unicycle’ NOVICA, in association with National Geographic, offers thousands of limited edition and one-of-a-kind gifts, jewelry, and home decor treasures handmade by master artists and artisans throughout the world. Rodrigo Saramago captures the tense equilibrium of a unicyclist. Inspired by circus performers, he creates this exciting image in bronze. The very modern abstract sculpture seems to move. Titled “Monociclo” in Portuguese. Artisan Info: “Some of my fondest memories date back to when I was in school because the art and craft lessons where the best part of school. I loved sculpting with ceramics, and these early experiences marked my initiation in the realm of sculpting. The circus was my other passion. I was fascinated by its art, especially the numbers that implied controlling one’s balance. “Years later, when I had to decide on the path to follow in my academic formation, I did not hesitate at all - I embarked on an artistic path and was accepted at Rio de Janeiro’s Federal University of Fine Arts. While studying there I took two courses at two of Brazil’s most prestigious institutions, Escola de Artes Visuais do Parque Lage and the Instituto Pestalozzi, where I took a course on illustration. This gave me the opportunity to come into contact with a variety of different artists and become more involved in this fascinating universe. “Besides art, I have also been in contact with several sports, especially capoeira, a Brazilian martial art based on the control of one’s equilibrium.
