„The Grace of the Unknown “ is an art project by German artist MARINA DELLA PREDA. The artist created various creature sculptures by combining elements of different formerly living animals and thereby creating a fascinating world of new mystic, distinct creatures.

They document the beauty and connection with nature and are a symbol of evolution. Each sculpture tells its own story. Therefore the artworks exude a natural persuasive force and charisma - a unique personality.

The mystical creatures form entirely new species which have never existed but could nevertheless live in a phantasy world or in earlier times. The sculptures are recreations of animal trophies that could exist on other worlds. Every sculpture derives from a recognizable original species but has additional features that tell it apart from everything humankind knows or has seen so far.
