Wael Esmaiel

Guardians of the Sea by Wael Esmaiel invites viewers into a magical underwater realm, where two dolphins emerge gracefully from a porthole, bridging fantasy and realism. Rendered with hyper-realistic detail, this 3D piece captures the dolphins as both joyful companions and protectors of marine harmony. Soft beams of light filter through the water, illuminating their playful forms and intelligent gaze.

Created for baby José Paulo, the work exudes warmth, serenity and a quiet strength. A delicate one-line drawing on the facing wall echoes their shape, extending the piece’s presence beyond the frame, a poetic reminder of nature’s guardianship and enduring wonder.
