SACRED
ART

/UNIQUE PIECES/

 

IN SACRED ART SCULPTURES, EVERYTHING BEGINS IN THE MOUNTAINS, WHERE I WALK AT ALTITUDES OF OVER 2,000 METERS. THESE ENCOUNTERS WITH NATURE CONNECT ME WITH MY BEING AND MY CHILDHOOD ADVENTURES IN THE WOODS. IT ALL STARTS THERE—I SENSE THE ENERGY OF THE ANIMAL AND WHETHER IT IS READY TO BE RETRIEVED OR SHOULD REMAIN IN NATURE.

 

OFTEN, I LEAVE THEM IN NATURE FOR SEVERAL MORE MONTHS TO ALLOW THE DECOMPOSITION PROCESS TO COMPLETE BEFORE RETURNING FOR THEM. ONCE IN MY STUDIO, A NEW CYCLE BEGINS—CLEANING AND RECHARGING THEM WITH ENERGY. WHEN THIS PROCESS IS FINISHED, I MOVE ON TO PAINTING, ALLOWING INSPIRATION TO FLOW NATURALLY. MY SCULPTURES FREQUENTLY INCORPORATE OXIDIZED TEXTURES OR ETHNIC MOTIFS, SYMBOLIZING THE PASSAGE OF TIME AS AN INTRINSIC FORCE OF THE EARTH.

 

MY ART IS DEEPLY CONNECTED TO THE LAND AND ITS CYCLES OF LIFE. THE CREATION OF A SACRED ART PIECE CAN TAKE UP TO A YEAR FROM THE MOMENT I DISCOVER IT TO ITS COMPLETION.

 

 

THAT MAKES THEM UNIQUE, SPECIAL, UNREPEATABLE AND FILLED WITH THE VITAL FORCE THAT FLOWS THROUGH EVERY ELEMENT OF NATURE AND THE UNIVERSE.
