Gemstone statuettes, 'Bald Eagles' (set of 3)

NOVICA, in association with National Geographic, searches the world to work directly with the finest artisan designers. Crowned with gleaming white feathers, the bald eagle is a majestic sight that can be observed from Alaska to southern Mexico and the Baja California peninsula. Willy Macedo brings them to life in polished aragonite. He shapes the beaks from jasper and poses each bird on a base of caramel onyx. They perch on delicate bronze feet. Artisan Info: Born September 26, 1974, Willy Macedo has specialized in stone-carving since 1995. Working with a renowned gemstone sculptor in the capital, he perfected his technique. "I am more of a technician than an artist," he says, this because he works in replicas. "Art is creating something from nothing." Yet he shows a highly refined skill in each realistic sculpture. "I sculpt gemstones to find the ecstasy of life, happiness in and of itself" he confides. "I am supremely happy when I am able to create something." Sculpting is a form of communication, and through each piece he strives to transmit his own artistic language. He uses gemstones and minerals, bronze, glass and a special kind of glue. "I dream of moving to the city and finding lots of time and space to be alone," he says. "At the moment my family lives with me. I want to find my way in life, because I am doing what I like and I enjoy it immensely. Through my work I manifest and celebrate my joy. Novica and the Internet are a new and interesting lifestyle for me." Macedo
