Soul Rider is a protector of nature and guide for souls in danger. This porcelain creation marks the first time the character is depicted as an independent sculpture, moving from a symbolic guardian in Dulk's murals to a tangible presence in our daily lives. Soul Rider stands on a 'flower-skull', a symbol of the danger that nature faces - while his face and his banner are in the shape of a heart, synonymous with love as an antidote to fear. This protective guardian is worked down to the smallest detail: the engraving of the flower, the clothing, the face with the bulging eyes and the ornate beak. Soft colors have been chosen for the decoration, with blues and creams predominating. Soul Rider can also be seen as a symbol of hope and redemption. In this piece, Dulk uses the minute details in the porcelain to highlight the delicacy of this relationship between man and nature, with Soul Rider acting as a bridge between the two worlds An iconic Spanish brand, Lladro is a world leader in the creation of porcelain art. Started by brothers Juan, Jose and Vicente Lladro in 1953, the ceramic figurines were initially inspired by the works of great European manufacturers like Meissen and Sevres. Over time, a unique style was forged, consisting of elongated lines, a revolutionary single-firing method, and soft pastel tones.
