The language of sculpture

Sculpture for me has endless posibilities of expression, therefore “ the language of sculpture “ wich I use is very diverse wether it is by form (abstract, conceptual or figurative) or by material. Being born in the small village of Ghida ,where I spent all of my childhood , I was in  permanent contact with nature and this way of life had a profound efect on my sculpture.

One of my main themes is the permanent conection of man and nature, of our direct contact with the earth without any inetrmediaries. This can be found in my “Sunshine in Ghida” sculpture, wich represents a resin cast of the dirt road of Ghida village, in wich the traces that the paysans and their animals were leaving while going in the morning to work on their land.

Another conceptual work is the “ Being “ sculpture, wich represents man’s struggle with its existence and the fact that through the course of our life we must ascend an invisibile latter.

The theme of ascension is also present in the work entitled “ Path of the Righteousness “.

The archaic look of  my abstract works comes from the natural materials like wood and stone wich I often combine and try not to alter the spirit of the elements used. Concrete is also an atypical material wich I specially use in my large scale works.

A special place is taken here by the sculptural ensemble “ Brancusi space ”. The ideea came to me when I was working for my “ Aforisms “ sculpture , comisioned by the city of Oradea. The work is made up of twelve pieces that compose his portrait , wich are then deconstructed and randomley placed to form a sculptural ensemble, a ‘temple’ in the memory of the great romanian sculptor. The interior parts of the portrait have brass incrusted plates with pictures of his works and of his workshop and also many of his famous quotes.

Over the last years , I focused my attention on large works, future projects and postponed several exhibitions.
