0.0 x 0.0

“Fascination”, Walnut wood and marble, HeightWidthDepth 56 x 40 x 50 cm, Weight: 14 kg, carved © 2022 Technique: direct carving with traditional tools I designed the sculpture by combining two particularly beautiful materials from nature: walnut wood and marble, on the principle of "conceptual art", where the idea ("idea art"), the conception, the process of the work, are considered more significant than the concrete, ultimate form of a certain creation. This sculpture is part of the "Beauty of Walnut" series, where through direct sculpture I explored the texture, contrast and shape of walnut wood, carving on the cross sections of the wood, on the head of the fibers, where the wood. it is very hard, but reveals its dynamic beauty of growth. The diversity and nature of the environment constantly provides me with both the challenge and the inspiration to push boundaries. The two figures carved in marble are fascinated by the amazing technical changes in the world but also by the beauty created by nature in the structure of walnut wood. Fascinating because in the last hundred years, humanity has experienced unprecedented innovation and change - from skyscrapers to the moon landing, to social media, to human rights and the democratization of art. Right now in our society everything is moving very fast, time doesn't seem enough anymore, artists seem to find their way much harder, ongoing changes create the need for a continuous state of Transcendence and this is reflected in contemporary art.
