#10VB2020 Sculpture

Hi guys, let me tell you a couple of words about my story in the art world. I have drawn since I was a little child. Probably that's the consequence of an imitation process (my father is indeed an architect). I remember this fun game I used to play, drawing a very young face and then modifying and modifying it to make it grown older and old. Like almost every child on our planet, molding clay was one of my favorite activities. More or less, 20 years ago, I started to carve wood. The transition from 2D to 3D artworks was astonishing. Wood artworks always fascinate me due to the unpredictable final appearance resulting from the wood grain. Finally, in 2018 I met the bronze… it was utterly unexpected. The same sculpture, e.g., in molded clay, becomes something different in its bronze copy… let me clarify this. Despite the exact dimensions and proportions, the same shape transforms into something else when it is bronze. Now it has its own vibes, completely absenting before. Probably these are only perceivable by the unconscious. However, I may say that it seems like the bronze piece has been literally born and can finally breathe. You can perceive it… Simply amazing…. That feeling bewitched me totally and encouraged me to continue with the bronze. However, the most valuable satisfaction came to me during the creative process: finally, I understood the meaning of art for me. Making art is "experimenting" entirely a state of freedom, a state of mind that does not care about foreign judgments. It is a matter about me and the inner me… a kind of connection that is hard to explain with words. For this reason, you will not find poetic names in my artworks. I indeed named them with an alphanumeric code. This is the best way to free you from the possible conditioning of words linked to the rational mind. Also, let me spend some words to explain to you the general idea behind my work. Every piece is an introspective journey to third dimension as human beings and its existential matter. It is "why" more than "because"… the analysis of the duality essence of our material world: positive and negative poles, the moon and the sun, the cold and the hot, the male and female, the man and the woman… when passing across the duality, the energy concludes its journey creating something or someone. Such an inception process defines the female pole as a final creative step. So, I begin this introspection process by focusing the female archetype of natural creativity.
