Thanks to this artist, the old disused pianos rise in the form of spectacular Phoenicians

Even if broken and malfunctioning, i piano They release a unique charm and get rid of it is not a choice that is light -hearted. The Australian artist David Cox is well aware of this, who has been dedicating his incredible art on disuse for years.

David recycles every single piece of these fascinating musical instruments to give life, through his skill and his fervent imagination, to wonderful sculptures. And this is how the piano, otherwise destined for a sad epilogue, rise from the ashes as real Phoenicians in his hands.

Today his art is appreciated all over the world, but the very first Fenice wings were born many years ago by chance. It happened when a singer friend asked him for a work of art for his recording studio: Cox, having at the hands of the keys of an old piano, decided to glue them together.

At first he was not satisfied by the result, but subsequently he tried to combine different forms and when he saw the wing of the Phoenix emerge, he was enthusiastic about it.

From that moment on, Cox dedicated himself to the creation of Phoenicians on commission, each of which is unique and personalized according to the customer and the history of the piano.

This black Phoenix, ‘La Pénix Noir’, was made starting from a Wertheim Pump organ of 1892.

And what about this wonderful sparkling blue phoenix?!

All his creations release magic.
