Gemstone statuette, 'Rufous Hummingbird'

Superbly sculpted of gemstones, this beautiful statuette depicts the rufous hummingbird, so named for its reddish color. Red jasper, white onyx and smoky obsidian are transformed into feathers, and the bird sips nectar with a sterling silver beak. A dedicated conservationist, Willy Macedo also employs jade, amazonite and celestite for this collector's piece.

Willy Macedo

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 has exhibited his work throughout Peru as well as in Brazil (1998, 2000 and 2003).
