Leonardo Soifer

Sculpting is a form of meditation for me.

My passion for art and sculpture in particular, was enhanced when I chose a new paradigm of life focused on spiritual growth.

That’s why I feel that making sculpture is a way of meditating and a means to expand consciousness.

Influences: Juan Arp, Henry Moore, Leo Tavella.
Inspiration: the science, art and philosophy of form, MORPHOLOGY. A convergent discipline; which through visualizations exposes, describes, explains and predicts composition, structure, relationships, patterns, syntax, sequences, connections, codes, evolution and transformations of astronomical, biological, climatic, anthropological, physical, chemical phenomena ...
I lose track of time. I feel free and motivated.

Without a preconceived shape, I play the art of creating abstract, organic, hand made sculptures while cultivating patience and persistence.
