SCULPTURE OF THE WEEK

This week, I'm sharing the inspiration behind my sculpture, "Angel de la Vida" (Angel of Life). Throughout art history, angels are frequently depicted in heaven above the clouds. I brought the clouds into her drapery and filled her robes with the colors and passions of life. Patinaed with fire and chemicals, I then create subtle nuances with hand rubbed metallic powders and waxes. She is attached to a steel circle frame, giving the illusion that she is floating above the material universe.

SCULPTURE OF THE WEEK 10/17/11

This week I wanted to focus on my sculpture "Angel de la Vida" (Angel of Life). I first created this piece in clay, then cast it in bronze. Her robes are filled with the colors and passions of life. I patinaed her with fire and chemicals, and created subtle nuances with metallic powders and waxes. Throughout art history, angels are frequently depicted in heaven above the clouds. I brought the clouds into her drapery and attached her to a custom made stainless steel circle, giving the illusion that she is floating above the material universe.
