The Gallery's Perspective
You first notice the dragon's silhouette as a study in sharp, folded planes—like an origami beast frozen mid-gesture. The faceted surfaces catch light differently across each angle, so the golden tone reads as lively reflections rather than a flat finish. Its posture feels both poised and restless: a low, grounded body with a sinuous, raised tail that gives a sense of controlled movement without appearing aggressive. Up close, the geometric spikes along the spine and the angular head create a contemporary take on a traditional protector figure, where symbolic power is expressed through design rather than expression. There’s a pleasing contrast between the sculpture’s precise geometry and the warm, metallic sheen; together they make the piece feel modern, ceremonial, and quietly commanding. As an object, it brings personality and a refined, bold accent to a room—calm strength rendered with exacting craftsmanship.
The Artwork
About Dragon Sculpture. Golden. Limited Edition
The dragon is one of the most powerful symbols in Eastern imagination. Associated with wisdom, good fortune, and protection, it adopts a new identity in this creation through a renewed aesthetic that blends tradition, design, and craftsmanship.Inspired by the Japanese art of paper folding, this dragon is composed of faceted volumes that transform the classic lines of origami into a sculpture with strong visual energy. Its angular forms, dynamic posture, and the tension in its silhouette evoke power and movement.The golden finish enhances the sculptural energy of the piece. To achieve this effect, we use natural mineral pigments coated with a fine layer of metallic oxide, intensifying the surface reflections while maintaining the purity of the color. The result is a striking creation with deep symbolic and decorative value.Dragon is part of a limited series of 888 units, entirely handcrafted using traditional porcelain-making techniques with a contemporary approach. Every step in the process honors the artisanal essence that sets our creations apart.This piece belongs to the Origami collection, a series of sculptures that reinterpret the animal world through geometric abstraction, with an aesthetic rooted in contemporary design.

Lladro was founded in 1953 when Juan, Jose, and Vicente, three brothers born of local farmers and endowed with great artistic talent, formed a small family company in the Valencian village of Almacera, Spain. Since then, Lladro has undergone an amazing metamorphosis from an artisan workshop to a huge firm of international scope enjoying continual growth. The company management has remained in the hands of the Lladro family, the owners of the firm, since its inception.
The creative team started out by adapting styles from past eras, but it was not long before certain characteristics appeared that would soon shape what was to become the unique Lladro style.
