Curator's Note
** Every Malliki sculpture I acquire, seems to out do the previous piece.
But EVERY Malliki piece is a Masterpiece.
Paul is an artist at the peak of his career. He is one of about five Canadian Inuit Master Carvers.
It is unfathomable that one man could have so much talent.
When you see a Malliki sculpture, you are viewing pure GENIUS.

All collectors will tell you that it only takes only an instant to fall in love with a piece of art.
In that nanosecond, you are awestruck and completely mesmerized.
SUBMARINER evokes those kinds of reactions.
Malliki has carved this magnificent narwhal with such realism one fully expects Submariner to blink his eyes!
The forest green stone is breathtaking.
It contains hues and tones that are hidden or revealed depending on the light
This exquisite carving has the perfect technical qualities we have come to expect from Paul Maliki.
Paul is a Canadian treasure whose artistic ability is legendary.
Narwhal Fun Facts: The narwhal’s tusk is actually a tooth with millions of nerve endings inside it, meaning they can use it to ‘feel’ or taste.
Narwhal or Monodon Monoceros in Latin means “one-tooth-one-horn.”
In Inuktitut, "Narwhal" translates to “the one point to the sky.”
