Testimonial For Hugo Negrini
My "Beautiful Goddess" statue from Mr. Negrini is outstanding! The fine detail on the piece is amazing. The dress is a gorgeous, shimmery mother of pearl colour and it really looks like you should be able to touch it and feel fabric and lace rather than hard resin. He has defintely captured the move of a dancer and the garment is flowing around her in a graceful curve.
Besides the beautiful work of the piece the service from the Novica people in Brazil was wonderful. The package came wrapped in red paper, tied with a golden bow and a hand addressed envelope containing a very nice thank you and wishes for a good holiday season all written in Portuguese. I felt like I'd received a gift in the mail rather than something I'd purchased!
Mr. Negrini's work is definitely something I will appreciate and enjoy having and I've already ordered the Yemaya piece in the green dress!
