Meet Tomáš Libertíny of Studio Libertiny, a Slovakian artist currently living and working in Rotterdam, the Netherlands, who creates art to explore the beauty and intelligence of nature, probing into the existential questions of the human mind, studying the relationship between man and nature.
For the past 2 years, Libertíny has been working on one of his latest projects—a bust of Queen Nefertiti of Egypt that he called Eternity. Except, instead of going the traditional route of using more conventional materials for sculpting, like clay or metal, he chose beeswax.
Well, more specifically, it wasn’t beeswax as in processed wax and that’s not all, no, he got a bunch of bees—about 60,000 of them, to be precise—to help him. Yep, what you see here is an all-natural creation made by bees, with a little structural guidance by Tomáš.
So, what happened is he designed and built a 3D frame of a Nefertiti bust, which looks cool as it is, but then he employed some bees to start building a honeycomb around it. The framework was specifically designed in a way to provide structural integrity and streamline the bees’ honeycomb design.
“I was interested in working with beeswax because the idea of the ephemeral was very appealing to me. Everything is momentary. Some things linger on longer than others but eventually disappears (both metaphorically and physically). One of such tragic objects is a beeswax candle,” explains Libertíny the origins of the idea.
“I was intrigued by its archetypal form. It is strictly guided by the the way it works. Beeswax candle is for me the best example of pure design. Absolutely nothing is styled about it. Everything about it is a science of keeping the flame burning. The physics (and chemistry) of a candle is beautifully complex and simple at the same time.”
He created a 3D model that he later got over 60,000 bees to create a honeycomb around
