Kevin Doberstein

I am Kevin Doberstein, specializing in contemporary wood sculpture and paintings, focusing on biomorphic abstractions and stylized Western designs.

Growing up in the sawmill and logging industry, I sought to balance the harshness of that world by discovering and transforming the natural beauty of wood into art. My work reflects a modern biomorphic style, often inspired by my admiration for the Southwest (United States), aiming to evoke warmth, spirituality, and happiness.

I work primarily with wood, selecting pieces with distinctive grain patterns and contrasting colors to create visually compelling sculptures. I occasionally apply a copper metal coating to enhance the aesthetic and achieve a unique look. Committed to sustainability, I use only responsibly sourced wood, transforming it into fine art and one-of-a-kind stylized creations.

Inspired by natural forms and the human body, my style combines freeform biomorphic shapes with stylized human designs. My free form sculptures are organically shaped and abstract, reflecting the natural rhythms and forms found in nature. In contrast, my human figures break away from realism with bold, fragmented designs, creating a distinct visual language.
