Original artwork description
A combination of several pieces of bluestone that I still had on the fort (in my studio) and a small remnant of travertine. I didn't want to make it too polished this time, a little rough.
Atlas, the bearer, is a figure from Greek mythology. According to legend, Atlas carries the celestial vault on his shoulders as punishment. While making this sculpture, this was not so much my point of view, but I did get a strong association with carrying a load. But, not to be weighed down by it. The balance (helped a bit by a pin) keeps it a bit playful.
Materials used:
Bluestone and travertine
Details:
- Stone sculpture on Other
- One of a kind artwork
- Size: 33 x 89 x 25cm
- Ready to hang
- Signed certificate of authenticity
- Style: Organic
- Subject: Abstract and non-figurative

About
My sculptures are clear and
abstract. They are created intuitively, by combining shapes and materials.
While working I search for simplicity, tension and balance. The traces of the
manufacturing process remain visible,... Read more
