Female Torso in Granite Sculpture

Soeren Ernst, born in Hamburg, Germany in 1967. I felt a strong calling to work in the three dimensional from the age of 17. At 19 I worked in the studio of German sculptor Joerg Plickat for a duration of two years. Travelling through Europe as a 'journeyman' I became a young independent sculptor and had first exhibitions in Scotland, where I also won 1st price in 'The arts of Scotland' competition, Pennicuik. On first visiting Portugal in 1989 I fell in love with the country and its people and the great variety of stones available for the sculptor. Since the 1990s I spend the summer in Germany and the winter months in Portugal.
