Nobuya Yamaguchi

I was born in Tokyo 1963. living in israel since 1992.
Listening to my inspiration rises and new creation appears, becoming alive. Metal can be transformed in endless ways. It is brought from the depth of the earth and is formed by fire, air and water. The process of its creation contains all the elements of life. I discovered joy and freedom in Metal art since my studies at Art high school and Tamagawa University in Tokyo, Japan. Through creativity I could find myself. I appreciate that after 30 years of working in metal still excited to experiment with metal endless possibilities: forging, design, kinetic sculptures, environmental art, figurative and abstract forms etc. A new dimension of metal that I explore recently is sound.creating musical instruments and performing since 2001. my vision is to unite all art media- Form, material, rhythm and movement in my creation and I would like to share it with you!
