Micro Revelation
In his own words:
"My Art
The foundational essence of my art is the
eternal nature and timeless quality of stone.
To heighten one's awareness for the need
of harmony within nature, I am compelled to
sculpt with reverence for established space.
My goal is to strike the balance, and find
mutuality between male and female energy.
In my sculpture, I strive to restore our
admiration and awe, of the nurturing and
sustaining virtues of female energy. This
concept of balance and harmony can draw
us into symmetry with the arrangement of
our existence, and serve as a visual remedy
to hostility in our culture. Spiritually, I am a
partner to stone; while shaping each piece, I
am sensitive and open to being directed by
the sculpture.
Inspiration
Creation of art pieces is a continual process
of learning and discovery, which fulfills my
spiritual and emotional needs. In sculpting, I
want my themes to make a contribution, to
making this world a better place to live in.
The creative process is my breath, my life
and my religion. I place tremendous value
on individualized interpretation of my work.
While I may have my own ideas about the
meaning of an art piece, I do not interfere,
with the essential experiences of others that
may uncover new meaning.
Materials and Style
To express a complex range of ideas, I
combine traditional realism, abstraction, and
conceptualism, as well as other textures.
The masculine, penetrating and brutal
properties of steel, the heavy energy of
organic stone, fused with the feminine, light
and translucent ambience of white marble,
make up my compositions. Masculine energy
sparks the polar effect, and connects with
the female spirit. This combination of
textures gives me the freedom to blend
contrasting material; depicting a unique
hybrid of racy and organic ideas. My
sculptures exude ethereal and dreamy
expressions, with a meditative state of
acceptance, openness and nonjudgement.
Influences
I am fascinated by, and attracted to clarity of
expression and representational depth in
historical works of art, and the sharp
imagery of bold materialization in modern
contemporary art. I am inspired by the works
of Michelangelo, Brancussi, and Calder. I am
significantly impacted and directionally
inspired by Isanu Noguchi and Henry Moore.
Isamu Noguchi: "Sculpture is the definition of
form in space... Stone alive before man was,
has a greater capacity to comfort us with the
reality of our being. They are as familiar as
the earth, a matter of sensibility. The
essence of sculpture is the perception of
space, the continuum of our existence."
