Master
Collection
The Master Collection is a suite of 10 fine art bronze sculptures that embody Natalie Cederquist Levin’s lifelong devotion to the human figure as both artistic form and vessel of spirit. Each sculpture begins in clay, modeled with precision and sensitivity, before undergoing the ancient lost-wax process, a method used for over five millennia to preserve gesture, texture, and presence in enduring bronze.
Every detail of Natalie’s clay originals is faithfully captured in the master mold and then translated into bronze through the alchemy of fire and metal. The wax model is destroyed during the process, meaning each casting is born anew, a unique work in its own right. Signed and finished by the artist, each bronze carries its own surface variations, patina, and character, no two are ever identical.
Bronze has been the material of choice for artists seeking permanence, vitality, and resonance. Its durability allows it to endure across centuries, while its responsiveness to touch and patina captures the subtlest nuances of the artist’s hand.
Natalie uses bronze to celebrate the figure as more than anatomy, as presence.
The Master Collection bridges the devotional and the artistic, offering works that can be contemplated as both objects of fine art and instruments of reflection.
It belong to a larger whole: a body of sculpture unified by vision but diverse in its expression.
A Contemporary Offering In our own time, bronze continues to hold a singular place in both museum collections and private sanctuaries. Natalie’s works extend this legacy, inviting viewers into a space of contemplation. Each sculpture can serve as a personal altar, a focus for meditation, or a centerpiece for a collection. They are not merely representations but presences, works that “speak” with an inner life, offering inspiration, peace, and healing. Limited Editions Each piece in the Master Collection is part of a limited edition: signed, numbered, and individually patinated. These variations in finish mean no two works are ever alike, each bronze carries a distinct character, its surface enriched by the hand of the artist and the chemistry of the patina. Collectors thus become stewards of unique works that belong to a larger whole: a body of sculpture unified by vision but diverse in its expression. An Invitation To live with a bronze from the Master Collection is to join a lineage of collectors, patrons, and devotees who have valued the figure in bronze for centuries. These works are not only art objects but touchstones of presence, memory, and spirit. May they inspire you to create your own sanctuary of beauty and reflection.
Baby Buddha
Baby Buddha
MASTER
COLLECTION
This sculpture draws inspiration from the disciplined practice of Tibetan monks who devote themselves to spiritual study from a young age. Here, the figure of the child monk embodies both the innocence of youth and the gravity of devotion. Seated in quiet meditation with hands folded in prayer, the sculpture captures the stillness and focus that defines a life dedicated to the pursuit of wisdom and compassion.
On the back of his robe, the Endless Knot, one of the Eight Auspicious Symbols in Tibetan Buddhism, is carefully rendered. It is also associated with longevity, love, and devotion, qualities mirrored in the gentle presence of the young monk himself. Entitled Baby Buddha, the work evokes the innocence of pure faith, unencumbered by doubt, and invites viewers into a state of quiet contemplation. In its presence, one is carried to a place of deep peace and stillness, a sanctuary within the self.

Angel of Surrender
MASTER
COLLECTION
Across cultures and faiths, angels have long been understood as divine messengers, beings of light who guide, protect, and inspire humanity. The Angel of Surrender embodies this sacred role, offering a vision of release into love and trust in the Divine.
With her head tilted upward and arms extended overhead, the figure expresses a total openness of heart. Her gesture is one of surrender, not in weakness but in strength, a profound yielding to infinite compassion and grace. Her closed eyes and serene expression suggest both inward stillness and radiant transcendence, as though she is lifted by the unseen currents of spirit.
Angel of Surrender reminds us that true strength lies in letting go, in yielding to love, compassion, and the eternal embrace of the Divine. In homes, sanctuaries, or sacred spaces, she offers both protection and inspiration, a visual prayer cast in bronze.
Also available in a white faux-stone patina, echoing the purity of marble statuary.

Lady of the Blue Agave
Lady of the Blue Agave
MASTER
COLLECTION
From the heart of the agave’s towering flower stalk, a radiant goddess is born. Lady of the Blue Agave rises in a sensual spiral, her body emerging seamlessly from the living architecture of the cactus itself. Where one would expect a simple bloom, a woman takes form—an embodiment of nature’s soul, and sacred femininity.
Her arms reach upward toward the sun, as if drawing in its warmth and light, celebrating growth, renewal, and divine vitality. She is both plant and spirit, rooted in the earth yet ascending toward the heavens. The flowing curves of her body echo the elegant geometry of the agave leaves below, creating a powerful union between human sensuality and the ancient intelligence of nature.
This sculpture honors the agave as a symbol of endurance and transformation, and the feminine as the living force that animates all creation. Lady of the Blue Agave stands as a timeless guardian of the desert—sensual, luminous, and eternally rising.

MASTER
COLLECTION
Inspired by Natalie Cederquist Levin’s travels to the awe-inspiring temples of Angkor Wat, this sculpture pays homage to the refined elegance of Khmer art during its classical flowering between the 9th and 13th centuries.
The Cambodian Temple Goddess kneels in a gesture of reverence, hands pressed together in anjali mudra, a sign of greeting, offering, and spiritual devotion across Buddhist and Hindu traditions.
Her regal crown and delicately adorned garments recall the celebrated apsaras and devatas of Angkor, celestial maidens whose carved forms populate temple walls in endless procession. These figures were designed not only as decoration but as embodiments of beauty, fertility, and the eternal rhythms of the cosmos. In this bronze, the same qualities are brought into three dimensions, alive with gesture and presence.
Placed in a home, temple, or contemplative space, the sculpture carries with it the atmosphere of Angkor itself: the stillness of stone sanctuaries, the dappled play of light across ancient carvings, and the enduring spirit of devotion.

Wu Wei, Zen Master
MASTER
COLLECTION
This bronze sculpture of the Zen master Wu Wei embodies the Taoist principle of “non-action,” a way of being that is neither passive nor resistant, but instead aligned with the natural order of things. Wu Wei translates as “without effort” or “without forced control.”
The master is shown seated in deep meditation, his hands resting in the dhyāna mudra, the gesture of inner concentration and balance. His half-smile and gently closed eyes suggest both wisdom and ease, a quiet joy born of surrender.
The surface of the bronze is finished with a green patina, reminiscent of aged stone or weathered copper, giving the work an aura of timelessness. This treatment emphasizes texture: the robe carries fine striations that catch the light, while the smoother planes of the face and hands glow warmly, creating a dialogue between permanence and impermanence.
In both form and finish, Wu Wei invites the viewer into stillness. Like the Taoist sages and Chan/Zen monks depicted in Chinese and Japanese art, this sculpture is not only a representation but also a teaching: a reminder that harmony arises not from struggle, but from letting go.

The young monk sits in stillness, eyes closed, embodying the quiet discipline of Buddhist practice. His serene face and composed posture reflect a state of inward cultivation, the patient unfolding of his divine nature within.
This sculpture was inspired by Natalie Cederquist Levin’s pilgrimage to the monasteries and UNESCO World Heritage temples of Laos. The work captures this threshold between youth and devotion. The robe, draped over one shoulder in the style of Theravāda monks, carries a warm orange-bronze patina reminiscent of the saffron robes worn by novices in Laos.
Subtle variations in tone, from burnished copper to gentle green undertones, give the surface a sense of depth and timelessness, as though it has absorbed both light and devotion.The surface of the bronze is finished with a warm patina that highlights the contours of the face and robe, giving the impression of both strength and tenderness. The play of light across its textures evokes the radiance of inner peace, the timeless gift of devotion to spirit.

Butterfly Girl
Butterfly Girl
MASTER
COLLECTION
This sculpture of a young girl reflects the intimate connection between humanity and the natural world, a relationship deeply honored in indigenous traditions. Kneeling in stillness, she gazes with quiet wonder at a butterfly resting in her hand. The gesture is simple, yet profound: a reminder of our kinship with the Earth and all her creatures, and of the need to walk gently, leaving the world enriched rather than diminished by our presence.
The surface of the bronze is finished in warm, earthen tones, with subtle green patination in the folds of her garment and in the butterfly’s wings. These colors evoke both the natural world and the timeless presence of bronze as a sacred material. This sculpture is not only a portrait of a child, but a symbol of balance: the wisdom of indigenous teachings embodied in youthful innocence, the fragility of the butterfly balanced by its power to transform. It is an invitation to see the divine woven through the natural world.

Yemanja
MASTER
COLLECTION
Yemanja, the beloved Mother Goddess of the Sea, is one of the most revered deities of the African and Afro-Brazilian spiritual traditions. Worshipped in Yoruba cosmology and honored in Brazil through Candomblé and Umbanda, she embodies the vastness of the ocean, a source of life, nourishment, and mystery.
In this sculpture, Yemanjá’s head is inclined gently to one side, her expression a blend of serenity and empathy. Her flowing hair cascades like waves, merging into textured strands that echo the sea itself.
The work captures not only her beauty but also her role as an enduring symbol of resilience and hope. For generations, Yemanjá has been a spiritual anchor, particularly for communities shaped by the transatlantic slave trade, who carried her devotion across oceans as both comfort and resistance. She remains a divine presence of profound cultural continuity, a goddess of the waters, carrying the prayers of her people upon every tide.

In Balance
In Balance
MASTER
COLLECTION
“In Balance” was sculpted from life, modeled on one of Cirque du Soleil’s star aerialists. Over the course of three days, the performer sustained this demanding pose in minute-long repetitions, enabling the artist to capture not only the precise musculature but also the fluidity and tension of a body suspended in space. Every line records the disciplined strength of the human form in motion.
The use of the live model has been central to figurative art for centuries. In Renaissance workshops, artists such as Leonardo da Vinci and Michelangelo drew tirelessly from the nude to understand anatomy, proportion, and movement.
“In Balance” extends this tradition into the contemporary moment. The aerialist’s inverted, gravity-defying pose recalls the dynamism of Baroque sculpture, while his athletic grace speaks to modern performance art. The polished patina of the bronze emphasizes anatomical precision and the play of light across the body, transforming a transient act into a timeless meditation on strength, equilibrium, and the union of body and spirit.
