PAINTING ON SCULPTURE
The Paintings on Sculpture collection emerges from a deep passion for both sculpture and painting, offering a unique synthesis of these two artistic forms. However, this collection goes beyond the simple combination of sculpture and painting; it is a nod to Impressionism, abstraction, and the natural world—capturing its unpredictable patterns, colors, and contrasts.
Each painting presented on the sculptures takes on a three-dimensional presence, almost as though it were etched within the transparent boundaries of space itself. This approach highlights the inherent tension between material and medium, as it is impossible to tame stone forms or create ceramic objects that seamlessly combine both structure and color, patterns, and motifs. The outcome is inevitably shaped by the material itself.
Oil painting, however, provides an opportunity to escape these limitations. It offers a chance to transform the sculpture into a pure white canvas, bypassing the constraints of stone structure and, in the case of ceramics, the unpredictable effects of the firing process or the chemical composition of glazes. In this context, the material and form act as inspirations for the motifs they can naturally take on, with colors and patterns that evoke the surrounding environment and the natural world. This connection between nature and art leads to an immersive exploration of history, art, and abstraction, ultimately turning the paintings into an evocative, three-dimensional vision.
The forms within the collection reflect a broad range of influences. Industrial shapes, reminiscent of machines and factories from the previous century, are fused with a personal love for architecture and ancient art. These inspirations result in bold, powerful structures, while simultaneously, the delicate and fragile nature of ceramics is acknowledged and explored. The imperfections and unique qualities of the ceramic medium are embraced, as seen particularly in Model 5, where fragility and strength coexist.
This collection is more than just a visual experience—it is a journey through time. The works combine the scale and grandeur of monumental architectural structures with the intricacy of small artifacts, creating a bridge between the origins of industry and the technological marvels of the present day. Through this fusion of past and present, the collection offers a reflection on how art can evolve and transform, while still maintaining a connection to its historical roots.The Paintings on Sculpture collection is an exploration of the boundaries between art, material, and imagination. It showcases a balance between abstraction and realism, history and modernity, creating a captivating dialogue between sculpture and painting, both in its form and concept.
