Anubis is part of the series “Metamithological Beings”, a series of small sculptures in which the most representative characters of Peri Helio’s graphic work are represented. Among these characters we can find reinterpretations of different deities and mythological beings of ancestral peoples, as well as other beings created by the artist. These beings arise from the observation of his environment and the usual social criticism implicit in much of his work.
Made in the Tinglâo ceramic workshop with the master Emilia Guimeráns, this reinterpretation of Anubis has been fired at 1180º, using for its decoration a combination of two shades typical of this mythological being from Ancient Egypt: gold and an anthracite grey with a slight metallic tinge that gives it that subtle sheen.
