“Burrowing Owl” is an exquisite bronze sculpture by renowned Belgian wildlife artist Marie Thys, celebrated for her lifelike animal creations and her exceptional mastery of patinas. This captivating piece portrays a burrowing owl balancing delicately on one leg, gently drying its wing—an intimate, natural gesture rarely captured with such authenticity in sculpture.

The owl’s expression is intensely real: alert eyes, refined textures, and a presence that feels almost alive. Thys enhances this realism through a remarkable ochre and off-white patina, a warm and subtle palette that highlights the plumage and adds depth, softness, and luminosity to the bronze.

Designed for both interior and exterior display, the sculpture features a discreet outdoor mounting system, making it ideal for garden landscapes, terraces, architectural projects, or curated contemporary art spaces.

A standout piece for collectors of bronze wildlife sculpture, admirers of expressive animal art, and those seeking a refined, emotive work of fine art with strong decorative impact.
