Ephemeral Treasures, the artist Antonio Segura Donat, known as Dulk, merges his passion for nature with his artistic mastery in collaboration with Lladró.
Ephemeral Treasures is inspired by the fauna of the Asian jungles, transforming Dulk's eponymous painting into a porcelain masterpiece. Each animal depicted, such as the peacock, the tiger, or the monkey, plays a key role in an allegory about the coexistence of species in fragile habitats. Through vibrant colors and meticulous detail, Dulk tells a thought-provoking visual story about the precarious situation of nature. The captivating beauty of the piece draws the viewer in, but as one delves deeper, a more profound message about the fragile state of natural ecosystems is revealed.
Ephemeral Treasures is a composition rich in symbolism. The peacock, with its vibrant feathers full of meticulous details, represents the beauty that nature still preserves, while the hourglass resting upon it serves as a clear reminder of the inevitable passage of time.
The piece, as a whole, is a call to reflection. Through a rich and poetic iconography, Dulk invites us to appreciate the beauty of the natural world and to be aware that, although time moves on, there are still opportunities to maintain and care for those ephemeral treasures that nature offers us.

About Lladro
In 1953 Juan, José and Vicente Lladró made their first porcelain creations in a Moorish furnace built in their own home in Almàssera (Valencia). In 1969 their facility in the City of Porcelain (Valencia) was completed and today is still home to the creative process and production of some of the highest artistic and technical quality porcelain in the world. Lladro's production innovations not only in the design and style of the figurines but also in the firing techniques have earned them many acknowledgements and awards.
In the 1990's Lladro was awarded the Príncipe Felipe awards for Internationalization, Competitiveness and Renown Brand Management. Lladro figurines and sculptures have collectors around the world and they can also be seen in the Hermitage Museum of Saint Petersburg, the Valencia Pavilion in the Universal Show of Seville, as well as in the Museum of Modern Art of Santo Domingo.
