Piccolo captures the alert and commanding presence of the New Zealand Falcon (Kārearea), one of Aotearoa’s most remarkable birds of prey. Perched on a twisting tree branch, the sculpture conveys a sense of quiet strength and focus, as though the falcon is surveying the landscape before taking flight.
Crafted from corten steel, Piccolo develops a rich, natural patina that complements both contemporary and natural outdoor settings, while also making a distinctive indoor feature.
Piccolo is part of Steve Rumore’s Falcon Collection, a series inspired by the beauty, intelligence, and power of New Zealand’s native Kārearea.
Known for its speed, agility, and fierce determination, the Kārearea is one of New Zealand’s most admired birds. Through this collection, Steve explores the character and presence of these extraordinary birds, creating sculptures that celebrate their place within New Zealand’s natural landscape.
We can create a custom falcon sculpture inspired by Piccolo to suit your space and vision. Size, pose, mounting style, and design details can all be tailored through a bespoke commission so please get in touch to explore the possibilities.
