A few words about these sculptures

The sculptor's works impress with a simple yet realistic portrayal of the human form. In his pieces, he demonstrates a remarkable restraint of personal feelings, similar to what is seen in his oil paintings.

The harmonious proportions of the figures radiate a calming aesthetic that invites the viewer to pause and reflect. Fine details, such as elaborately crafted facial features and the upright, relaxed posture, convey a sense of tranquility and balance.

Through the realistic representation of the human body, the sculptor engages with the sense of beauty, dignity and equilibrium. Much like ancient Egyptian sculptures, he seeks to express the sublime and the majestic. These sculptures can serve as timeless works that offer peace and reflection in a hectic world.

The choice of material—very old oak wood—contributes to the inviting atmosphere of his works. The sculptor has consciously accepted the natural damages of the wood to preserve the authenticity and history of the material. One might think of the so-called "alienation effect" introduced by Bertolt Brecht in his plays, aiming to provoke thought and critical reflection in the audience.
