Lustful Faun Statue for Sale - Bronze Erotic Nude - signed Milo

Lustful Faun – A Provocative Ode to Ancient Desire - Signed Milo

The Lustful Faun emerges as a striking embodiment of faun mythology, its bronze contours fused with an undercurrent of primal sensuality. Seated with one knee raised and head tilted in rapturous abandon, the figure’s goat–like horns and pointed ears recall the woodland satyrs of antiquity. Rendered in a warm, burnished patina, each ripple of muscle and curl of hair glows with a living intensity. As a limited edition of twenty casts, this piece invites collectors to possess a fragment of timeless erotic lore, casting ancient longing into a contemporary bronze form.

The Artist’s Lisbon Beginnings

Miguel Fernando Lopez—universally known as Milo—was born 1955 in the maritime quarters of Lisbon, Portugal, where the city’s maze of alleyways and the Tagus River’s shifting tides first sparked his sculptural imagination. From childhood sketching sessions in Alfama’s tile-clad courtyards to formal studies at the University of Lisbon’s Faculty of Fine Arts, Milo cultivated a singular voice that melds classical technique with modern abstraction. His residencies in Rome and Paris further refined his command of anatomy and patination, culminating in the unabashedly expressive nature of the Lustful Faun.

Crafted in the Heart of Iberian Artistry

Milo returned to Lisbon to translate his clay maquette into enduring metal. The Lustful Faun was then entrusted to Atelier da Ribeira, the city’s preeminent foundry, where generations of master casters applied the ancient lost-wax process to preserve every nuance of Milo’s vision. Hand-finished with a proprietary chemical bath, the bronze surface now radiates with multi-layered hues—deep sepia highlights accentuating sculpted fur, while gentle shadows pool in the figure’s hollowed crevices. The discreet “Signed Milo” engraving at the base attests to its provenance.

A Dialogue of Sensuality and Nature

This modern garden statue reimagines the faun as both a symbol of uninhibited lust and a guardian of pastoral splendor. The figure’s languid pose and subtle anatomical exaggerations channel the faun’s dual nature—part man, part beast, wholly untamed. Against the backdrop of a sculpted plinth or nestled within a secluded grove, the Lustful Faun captivates with its silent invocation of woodland revelry. Its tactile surfaces beckon the hand, while its unguarded expression invites the imagination to wander through moonlit glades and Dionysian festivities.

Presence Amidst Landscape and Light

Whether positioned at the threshold of a private villa or as the centerpiece of a verdant courtyard, this outdoor garden statue transforms its surroundings into an immersive setting of mythic resonance. Dawn’s first rays gild the bronze fur with golden warmth, while dusk’s shadows deepen the sensual folds of the form. Seasonal foliage frames the figure’s contours, creating a living interplay of growth and decay that echoes the faun’s own tie to nature’s cycles. Each viewing reveals new subtleties as light and weather breathe life into the bronze.

A Coveted Heirloom of Erotic Elegance

Limited to twenty casts, the Lustful Faun stands as a rare fusion of technical mastery and unabashed sensuality—a true faun statue for sale destined for connoisseurs of boundary-pushing art. Its commanding presence and narrative depth ensure it will captivate admirers for generations to come. In this work, Milo offers more than a mere sculpture: he presents an invitation to embrace the timeless interplay of desire and wild beauty, forever frozen in molten bronze yet alive with the pulse of ancient rites.
