The Nine Muses series have been inspired by the Greek art and mythology. I have improvised the visual and emotional state of ancient forms with a contemporary interpretation for grace and romantic harmony. Sometimes there are suggested whimsy and nostalgia; something ancient and modern at the same time. The aesthetics of every sculpture is redirecting the viewer to the special charisma and the characteristics of the individual muse. Preliminary drawings lay out the subject to make the idea suitable for the metal sculpture.
The application encompasses all sources of techniques for iron steel and copper. I work the metal direct without molds or stamps. Over all, in the sculpting process, I am building up the form, piece by piece. “It is important to involve myself in every step of the process; a crucial vehicle that permits me, as an artist, to enter into the manifestation of the work and its message.”
