Masterpiece Carving! Museum quality Sculpture!
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 you an instant to fall in love with a piece of art.
In that nanosecond, you are awestruck and completely mesmerized.
Malliki has carved these magnificent narwhal with sleekness, and such realism I fully expect this pair to blink their eyes!
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.
These majestical Narwhals have enormous tusks protruding from their heads.
In this setting, Paul has envisioned the two Narwhals "standing" in a vertical position as if they are raising each other to the top of the sea.
Their deep marine green colour is breathtaking!
This Narwhal duo lives up to Paul Malliki's reputation as being one of the best Inuit carvers on the planet.
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 is Qilalugaq gernertaq which translates to “the one point to the sky.”
