The sculpture "Embrace of Zeus" stands as a powerful testament to the ancient Greek god of the sky, lightning, and thunder. Zeus, revered as the king of all gods, is a central figure in Greek mythology, surrounded by numerous legends. It has been believed since time immemorial that a tree struck by lightning is consecrated, having been marked by Zeus himself, the ruler of the sky, thunder, and the world at large. For centuries, such trees have been worshipped for their supposed ability to bestow strength and health. This work of art emanates an unseen energy, a testament to its divine connection.

This formidable piece is crafted from the base of a 300-year-old dry oak tree, once felled by lightning. The interior bears the scars of the lightning strike, a burnt surface that adds to its mystique. Adorned with candles and gilding, the artwork radiates a sense of ancient power and reverence. The sculpture is supported by a base made of Siberian larch, enhancing its stability and adding a touch of rugged beauty.

"Embrace of Zeus" is not just a sculpture but a portal to the past, connecting the modern world with ancient beliefs and the awe-inspiring power of nature as embodied by the mighty Zeus.
