Gods of Today by Annya Sand

Annya Sand is a contemporary multimedia artist known for her signature abstract art. A third-generation artist, she has exhibited her work in renowned institutions like the Houses of Parliament in London and the UN headquarters in New York. Supported by UNESCO and major art foundations, her work appears in global museums and private collections. She emphasises hands-on techniques, layering, and texture in her creations, striving for perfect compositions.

For Annya, painting "Gods of Today" was a sacred ritual, a journey into the depths of the soul. With every brushstroke, the egg surface was transformed into a gateway between the seen and the unseen, a realm where creativity and divinity intertwined. Each movement of the hand became a prayer, a meditative dance of colour and form, unfolding healing, self-discovery and a profound connection to something greater.

TERMS AND CONDITIONS

Delivery Information 

Elephant Family has partnered with IBI International Limited https://ibi-international.co.uk/ to ensure the safe handling and delivery of your egg/s.

Full Payment: 

Payment of donations is required in full before delivery arrangements for the egg/s can be made.

Winning bids cannot be cancelled, and bidders are obligated to pay the full bid when the auction closes.  

Delivery Times: 

Central London deliveries will take place within 10 working days from the auction closing.  

Due to the eggs being part of a public exhibition before sale, some eggs may require touch-ups/minor restoration before being delivered. While we will endeavour to do this in a timely manner, this means we are not able to guarantee a delivery time and will only be able to provide a rough estimate at point of sale. 

Please note, because of the nature of the artwork and the need to do this work by hand, this may also mean that the egg(s) are slightly altered from the original design on delivery.  

Delivery Charges: 

Delivery rates can be found on the T&Cs page. A 10% handling fee, based on the final winning bid, will be applied in addition to delivery charges, the handling fee will cover the cost of the plinth and installation. IBI will invoice directly for all fees and charges which are subject to VAT. 

Storage Fees: 

Egg storage at IBI International is complimentary for the first 2 weeks post the auction closing date and charged at £25 per week plus VAT from then on. IBI will invoice you for this directly. In instances where the additional storage is required for restoration work, Elephant Family will cover this cost. 

International Shipping:  

International shipping will incur additional charges for customs, duties, and taxes, which are the buyer's responsibility.

Long-term Care

Each egg is a unique piece of art. As such, the Elephant Family cannot guarantee the quality of the sculpture long-term. It will be for the buyer to take appropriate care to preserve its longevity. We suggest, where possible, that the eggs are kept indoors or protected from the elements. Other maintenance activities such as regular varnishing may also be helpful. Where helpful, Elephant Family is happy to contact the egg artist for more information but cannot be held responsible for any damage or issues once the egg has been delivered.
