This one will be number 17. They will be made to order, signed, and numbered.📌 📌No pieces will be duplicated, and each will be unique. 📌Photos show an example of color and design.📌 📌Copying and free creating are two very different processes. I will make you a sculpture in my style, close but not exactly the same as in the example photos. Only this way will every collector own a unique piece📌 Do you like white art? What happens to us when we look at monochrome artwork? Unlike other colors, why is white encouraging us to immerse ourselves more profoundly in the texture? I guess every color makes us experience its evocations. In my culture, white symbolizes purity and elegance. We must not be 100% perfect, smooth, or precisely fitted. In the same way, the artwork does not have to be done with the most delicate invisible strokes to convey a feeling of tenderness, purity, and completeness. Rough texture, on the contrary, only emphasizes tenderness, making it even more tangible. Nobody's perfect: Our roughness, wrinkles, irregularities, and cracks only emphasize our humanity, revealing our essence, that each of us is infinitely beautiful in our fragility and mortality. Through this sculptured artwork, contrasted with dream-like forms and light, I hope to invite calming recollections that foster contemplation of connection and our place with nature. Every sculptured element in my works represents a person, and I incorporate many of them in my sculptures. So, the people in my sculptures - I want them to look similar but different. We are very much alike; our differences are overrated. I made this observation as I am a product of two nations and as a result of two immigrations I made as an adult. But we are not identical; that's why I absolutely don't want those sculptured elements to be smooth and look like they were made in mass production. I want to show their character - their texture. I want them to look rough but in a way that this rough texture emphasizes their gentleness. I want them to look fragile when, in fact, they are really hard to break. I want them to show every touch of my fingers; I create those cracks as they represent different experiences we are going through. And then I organize them on a canvas together in a kind of dance; there is a logic there in the composition because, in this life, we are in this together; we are connected. Somehow. We feel it. Our reality is beyond our knowledge, BUT we feel this connection. I use canvases instead of wooden or any other firm surfaces, and I do so to emphasize lightness, both literally and metaphorically. Literally - because canvas weighs much less than wooden planks. Also, metaphorically - to convey the feeling that even though we are fragile, we got this; we have a lot of strength in us, especially if we are together. We are in this together; we are connected. I am an award-winning artist. I create meta-modernistic sculptures on canvas. I have had works appear and win awards in juried art shows across the US and Europe, shown with selected galleries, including Solo and Duo Exhibits.
