SCULPTURE OF THE WEEK

This week I wanted to share the inspiration for my sculpture, "Angel de la Vida". First cast in bronze, I then patina her with fire and chemicals and create subtle nuances with metallic powders and waxes, filling her robes with the colors and passions of life. Throughout art history, angels are frequently depicted in heaven above the clouds. I brought the clouds into her drapery and attached her to a steel circle, giving the illusion that she is floating above the material universe. She can be commissioned in any size.
