Ethereal Attempt Print

Materials: Ceramic, wood, paper and brass hardware Signed by the artist Comes with COA for artwork (Certificate of Authenticity) This series of my work focuses on abstract language translated in three-dimensional geometric shapes which I combine in different ways exploring the relation among colors, shapes, heights, shadows, negative and positive spaces. "Ethereal Attempt" evokes the relationship between matter and ether, body and spirit, thoughts and manifestations. This work explore how we as beings transit between one state and another, sometimes being the part and sometimes the whole. ARTIST STATEMENT I believe that objects can teach us a lot about life, even if consciously they don't know anything. The role of the artist is just to put them in the right context to allow that to happen. When I am working with clay, I constantly find myself in a 'place' of reflection and conscious-ness. For me, the process of making art brings out emotions, insights and new ways of seeing life. Recently my reflections have often been over on the times we live in, and the interactions between individuals and groups in society. In a world where it becomes more and more dangerous to freely express ideas, I feel that art is the best way to maintain freedom of expression. A cherished by-product of my work is the instigation of reflection over these critical aspects of life in others. But the art I create is only synthesis of my own experience of being alive - it is a blend of my emotions and my changing beliefs translated into colours, shapes and forms. It is my way to celebrate the impermanence of life. Interpretations of it belong to the observer.
