Amaltas

Amaltas by artist and sculptor Alex Davis captures the ephemeral beauty of the Laburnum Tree, paying tribute to the iconic trees that line the avenues of his home city, New Delhi. The work faithfully recreates the tree’s spreading canopy and the graceful, dangling clusters of flowers that announce the arrival of summer. The sculpture immortalises a cherished natural spectacle, transforming an icon of the urban landscape into a permanent statement.

Forged entirely from stainless steel, the sculpture creates a powerful dialogue between material and subject. The inherent strength and permanence of industrial metal is used to render the delicate, transient beauty of the blossoms. Finished in a soft golden hue, the polished steel captures and reflects light, mimicking the radiant shimmer of the Amaltas in full bloom and creating an immersive, enthralling canopy of gold. 

In his signature style, Davis elevates a familiar element of the natural world into a captivating work of art. Amaltas freezes a fleeting seasonal moment, transforming an icon of the Delhi landscape into a permanent and powerful statement on nature, memory, and place.
