Original Brass Figurine Miniature Brazilian Collectible Art, "Metta Toy Art, Leo"

Léo comes from the Orient, he is on Earth, and can easily switch to other dimensions of consciousness and establish divine connections. But Léo is also capable of feeling fear. He has great insight and can see through people. His thirst for pleasure links him relentlessly to the third dimension, in which humans live. Everything related to Léo is deep and intense: his loves, his connections, his work. He leads a just life. Leo is a miniature brass figurine conjured by Ruby Yallouz for her "Metta Toy Art" collection, where the Pali term metta means "love that is pure," as well as "compassionate love."

"These Metta Toys are the first thing I worked on after recovering from brain surgery. I had never done anything like them. Above all, these new creations, my creatures, have brought me immense happiness. With them I smiled again and I've had fun with them, even though the message they bring is a serious one. The Metta Toys were born to bring happiness and laughter to our lives, which is why I'd like to share them with the world, especially where a smile is needed," confides Yallouz of her sculpted figurines. "After all, we all smile in the same language."

Yallouz is inspired by Vipassana meditation, as well as Barbara Hand Clow's Pleiadian dimensions of consciousness.
