Pure Gold - Sculpture Books

The Golden Waves is a 355-page photographic and scientific art book, written by experts Alessandro Benedetti and Sandro Carniel, published in a limited edition of 99 numbered copies.

This volume is born from a question as simple as it is fascinating: Where the waves come from?

Through a narrative that is both rigorous and accessible, the authors offer a clear scientific response with analytical depth, delivering a comprehensive vision of marine phenomena—where science and art meet.

The result is a singular publication in which technical knowledge is woven into the visual splendour of fine-art photography.

The journey begins in Japan and unfolds across seven locations: Hawaii, Iceland, the Atlantic Arc, the Mediterranean Sea, South Africa, and Australia.

Each section is paired with breathtaking photographs by some of the world’s most renowned photographers, capturing extraordinary waves in spectacular natural settings.

Original illustrations by Italian painter Tazzuti accompany the narrative, interpreting the language of the sea with a refined balance of scientific insight and artistic expression.

Each cover of The Golden Waves is a sculptural work in copper and 24-karat gold—a three-dimensional piece that freezes the movement of water into timeless material form.

The Golden Waves is a collector’s book for lovers of the sea, natural beauty, photography, and art publishing. A rare volume that brings together scientific storytelling, authorial imagery, and sculptural craftsmanship to reveal the soul of the ocean.
