A Story of Strength, Survival, and Artistic Brilliance
The latest release from Edge Sculpture, Yuna the Lioness Bust, is more than just a remarkable work of art — it’s a story of courage, compassion, and hope brought to life through exquisite craftsmanship.
The Real Yuna – From Conflict to Sanctuary
Yuna isn’t a fictional muse. She’s a real lioness, rescued from the devastation of war in Ukraine and now thriving at The Big Cat Sanctuary in Kent. Her journey from danger to safety captured hearts around the world, symbolising survival and the resilience of nature even in the darkest of circumstances.
Edge Sculpture’s collaboration with The Big Cat Sanctuary ensures that Yuna’s story continues to make a difference. From every sale of the Yuna the Lioness Bust, £22.50 is donated directly to support the sanctuary’s Big Cats in Crisis campaign — funding rescue, care, and conservation work for endangered big cats across the globe.
EA Sculpture That Tells a Story
Artist Matt Buckley, the creative mind behind Edge Sculpture, has beautifully captured Yuna’s grace and quiet power. The bust portrays her with a poised, dignified expression — calm yet commanding — embodying the strength and composure that define a lioness in the wild. Every curve, texture, and subtle detail reflects Buckley’s extraordinary ability to merge realism with emotion.
Though not a limited edition, each piece is individually signed and numbered by the artist and comes with a Certificate of Authenticity, confirming its connection to this meaningful collaboration. Standing at 13.9 inches tall and over 11 inches wide, Yuna commands attention in any setting, whether displayed alone or as part of a growing Edge Sculpture collection.
A Symbol of the Lioness – Power and Grace
Lionesses are known as the heart of the pride — protectors, hunters, and leaders. They represent unity, maternal instinct, and quiet authority. The Yuna the Lioness Bust captures these qualities perfectly. Her sculpted features convey not only strength and alertness but also the serenity that comes with wisdom and endurance.
This makes Yuna more than just a striking piece for collectors — she’s a symbol of courage, leadership, and hope, resonating deeply with anyone who values resilience and compassion.
The Edge Sculpture Process
Each Edge Sculpture creation is a statement of craftsmanship and imagination. Designed and hand-sculpted in England by Matt Buckley, every piece begins as a clay original. The sculpture is then cast using a unique marble stone compound, ensuring strength and texture that mimic natural stone.
The final stage brings the sculpture to life through meticulous hand-painting, layering tone and colour to highlight every expression and contour. The result is a piece that feels alive — full of emotion, depth, and presence.
Art with Purpose
Few works of art combine such profound storytelling with tangible impact. By owning Yuna, collectors not only gain an exceptional sculpture but also directly support the welfare and protection of big cats in need. It’s a purchase that carries meaning far beyond aesthetics — a true fusion of artistry and compassion.
