About Nerijus Kisielius

My inspiration comes from moments recorded in my mind, which are later through the clay are turned into bronze and telling small stories. Managing every step of the process - from the initial modeling to the heat of the pour in my own foundry - allows me to maintain a direct physical connection with my art. My inspiration comes from the raw elegance of nature and the profound complexities of human emotion. I am driven by the desire to capture a fleeting moment - a movement, a breath, or a silent thought - and give it a permanent, physical form through bronze. Figurative sculpture is at the heart of my creative work, with a particular focus on exploring the sheep as a symbolic object. For me, the sheep embodies a blend of vulnerability, a sense of community, and timeless pastoral tranquility. Working with bronze is a deliberate choice; its ancient strength and rich history allow me to bridge the gap between the ephemeral and the eternal. Each sculpture is a result of a labor-intensive, multi-stage casting process. From the initial wax model to the final hand-finished patination, every step is a testament to traditional craftsmanship. The tactile nature of my work, with a typical weight of between around 2-8 kg offers a substantial presence that invites the viewer not just to look, but to feel the story within the metal. I am looking for a professional platform that values authentic craftsmanship and connects independent artists directly with global collectors. I appreciate Artfinder's reputation for quality and its community of art lovers who value the story behind the work. As an artist who manages the entire production process in my own studio and foundry, I believe my unique bronze sculptures will offer something distinctive to the Artfinder audience. I am ready to grow my international presence and build lasting relationship with collectors who appreciate handmade, high-quality fine art. These pieces are created as long-term investments, designed to mature and endure for generations, bringing a sense of timeless luxury to any modern collection.
