Statement
|
|
Sculpture is an art space and the silhouette is poetry.silent and unobtrusive ... sculpture requires communication ... it can not be as impressive as media art, but it can pass a subtle feeling of fullness of life...
In the past years I have been working with simple shapes, making clear sculptures ... I do not want to hide behind a lot of details.
Monumental work gives the opportunity to anyone to feel them as a part of space, being in the park or public place...
This archaic art still gives us aesthetic pleasure ... it can not compete with the media art and should not be. Sculptors must develop a centuries-old language of expression through the form, silhouette, plastic ....
The sculpture finally became intimate art .. this is a direct communication between artist and audience.
