Flames of Love captures the intensity of human emotion through Owen Mlungisi's poetic interpretation in green opal. The sculpture's ascending form evokes rising flames, a timeless metaphor for passion and devotion that transcends cultural boundaries. The artist transforms the stone's natural luminosity into a visual representation of love's warmth and radiance, allowing green opal's subtle colour shifts and translucent passages to suggest the flickering, dynamic quality of fire itself. Rather than depicting literal flames, Mlungisi conveys the emotional experience of love—its consuming power, its upward trajectory, its capacity to illuminate the human spirit.  The piece resonates with those seeking meaningful art that honours profound human experiences whilst celebrating the inherent beauty of natural materials. A refined addition to collections that value emotional resonance and artistic sophistication, this sculpture serves as both a personal talisman and a sophisticated statement of contemporary African sculptural practice. A testament to Mlungisi's ability to translate universal human sentiment into enduring artistic form.
