Valora Sculpture

Valora Type of wood: ash, black walnut, chestnut Surface: oiled and waxed Size: appr. 94 x 62 cm "Valora" was completely created from spontaneous impulses while being focused on where my intuition was leading me. The title and the meaning of an artwork created this way often comes to me while finishing the work or even in retrospect. "Valora" with its radiance and presence has a very interesting meaning for me, which one might not grasp at first glance: Without appreciation, experiences and moments simply pass us by. By giving certain things a value in our lives, they gain the necessary strength to become visible and work on us and around us. Their energy and radiance begins to multiply and they fulfill their given space and beyond with power and awareness. This valuable attention to the moments and things of life make them perceptible and tangible to a multitude of other people, thereby giving them the opportunity to also give and experience appreciation. “When we consider ourselves to be fully valuable, courage and strength arise, allowing us to confidently and mindfully take the necessary steps on our path to happiness.” “Valora” – Appreciation and courage.
