Artemis and Spyros

Artemis and Spyros, two Greek students, from the island of Crete, came to visit the Sculpture Center and my studio. He plays the violin and other strings instruments and she makes little pieces of jewelry of great sensitivity and beauty,
with found seeds, twigs and strings.
Their visit was the highlight of my day, otherwise filled of hard work and stone dust.
Thank you, Artemis and Spyros for filing this day with beauty and lighthearted joy.

The creation of my pieces starts with the observation of the complex relations established between phenomena as diverse as nature’s fertility, man made objects, music or art history. It’s an intimate work in search of integrating conflicting forces, ultimately leading to the transmutation of the parts in to a transcending whole. The shape contains in it self the memory of the evolution from one condition to another in a process of transformation that is at the same time natural, personal and cultural.

A concepção das minhas peças parte da observação e da abstracção das relações que se estabelecem entre fenómenos tão diversos como a fertilidade da natureza, objectos de construção humana, a musica ou a história da Arte. É um trabalho íntimo que busca integrar forças em conflito e que conduz à transmutação das partes num todo que as transcende. A forma guarda a memória da evolução de uma condição para outra, num processo de transformação que é pessoal, natural e cultural.
