Story Behind the Art:

'Hi, My name is Marco Polo Serrano. Yes, believe it or not, my name is really Marco Polo. I was born in a small artisan town surrounded by handicrafts, as most of my family are artisans. By the age of 13 I had a job in a workshop that made artistic ironwork, and in this way I helped pay for my schooling. When I was 18, I quit working to concentrate on my studies. I got married, and my wife is also from a family of artisans. When I was 23, she and I decided to open our own workshop with a different design concept, utilizing a metal cutter known as a plasma. I began to work with it, cutting perforated silhouettes from sheet metal. The shapes are cut freehand, and we give them form and texture with a hammer and other tools that I've made myself to create capricious designs. I apply an oxidized finish and protect each piece with a coat of lacquer.

Novica
Since 1999, Novica has been connecting artisans around the world by providing them with a network to sell their fine products, often handmade, in regional marketplaces and online. This revolutionary company, whose name comes from the Latin word novus, meaning new, has partnered with National Geographic to create a fair-trade program that benefits artists in a variety of countries. Each artisan can set prices for their products and change them at will, and there are no fees for listing items on Novica's website. This allows the artisans to remain independent and make the most money from their items, whether they sell Novica home decor pieces or craft beautiful canvases sold in the Novica art gallery. Support global artisans when you purchase products for both inside and outside your home, including Novica patio furniture and Novica kitchen linens and decor. You may also learn more about the person who makes your favorite items and the places where they are made.
Sustain Novica's extraordinary fair-trade program when you buy dishes and serveware for your dining table. Novica dinnerware is made of quality materials, including ceramic, porcelain and stoneware, and many plates and bowls feature vibrant colors and exotic patterns that can dress up any kitchen. You'll also want to check out Novica glasses and barware to complement your dinnerware and fit your lifestyle. Look for stunning hand-blown glass goblets you can serve water or fresh lemonade in and be sure to check out the selection of boldly colored shot glasses for your home bar.
No home would be complete without Novica serveware, either. A hand-painted ceramic soup tureen will look great in any kitchen, and a blown-glass pitcher adds an elegant touch to an outdoor party. Impress guests with Novica garden decor, including beautiful iron welcome signs and charming ceramic flowerpots. Novica jewelry also makes a wonderful gift for friends and family, especially handmade Novica bracelets and necklaces.
Because of its partnership with National Geographic, Novica is able to present beautiful images of individual artisans, their products and the places in which they live to customers all over the world. Take advantage of this program and buy unique items from Novica for your home. One purchase will support an artisan's efforts and allow him to continue producing quality products in his homeland.

    • WOW

      We have purchased many products from the international site and have yet to be even remotely disappointed. I purchased this as a gift for my wife. She was very pleased with the detali of the piece. I was impressed with the care taken by the shipper to make sure that it was packaged in such a manner as to make it virtually impervious to mishandling.

      • Did the color match the color displayed onsite? Yes
      • Please tell us about the quality of the product. EXCELLENT
      • How accurate was the sizing? Exactly as shown
    • Very 3D

      I had a party and received a compliment from a guest. My husband said it seems "dangerous" - the sun rays come out from the wall maybe as much as three inches in some places. The picture makes the rays look copper colored, but they are really rust colored. I hung this in my bathroom and it really adds some oomph to an otherwise boring little space.

    • Lovely!

      The workmanship on this piece is what truly makes it art. It is both interesting and unique. I love the 3-D effect of the flames coming off of the wall. One of my friends remarked that the face was really beautiful and she said that often in these types of sculptures, the face isn't attractive, but in this case, it is. I know that this piece is often purchased for outdoor decor, but I did decide to use it as the focal point beside my indoor bistro set and I couldn't be more pleased. My only regret is that I would love to see it slightly larger in scale, but other than that, you won't be disappointed.

    • nice

      I was happy with the workmanship of this item. It was well packaged and arrived in good condition. The face is a dark green with some dark gold and the flames a clay color. The colors appeared really dull hanging on my wall so I painted the flames red and this brightened it up. The flames are naturally folded and I wanted to reshape them but was very hard to bend into another shape. Overall this wall hanging is a nice addition to my living room.

    • AMAZING

      I asolutely love this Sumptuous Sun, it has made an excellent addition to my home. The workmanship is simply beautiful and it is just an all around amazing piece. I receive comments just about every time someone enters my home. In addition 7 of my friends have already purchased this product after seeing it in my home.....AMAZING!!!
