"Two grey shales" Sculpture

Filipe Ferreira was born in Portugal, and from an early age developed a special interest for painting and sculpture, greatly influenced by his childhood interactions with his father's carpentry. Since then, he maintained a deep connection to the world of art, developing his expertise and knowledge in a self-taught manner.

Filipe is particularly passionate about the art of sculpture. His natural materials of choice are wood, which brings a sensation of warmth and life, and shale, whose sedimentary layers reveal a rustic and sophisticated presence.

The pieces reflect the momentaneous inspiration when working on the fragments found during his casual walks throughout mountains and forests. The results are timeless pieces that capture the singularity of life-defining moments between the fusion of fragments from shale and wood.
