What’s Going on in my Studio?

Passion in My Artworks

I've always believed in being deeply involved in every aspect of my work, from the initial sketching and clay phase to the intricate technique of "Lost Wax Process", metal chasing, and welding. Recently, the studio has been buzzing with activity as I've taken on the task of personally metal chasing and welding several pieces to ensure both quality and timely arrivals.

With each piece that leaves the studio, I experience a whirlwind of emotions. There's the excitement of knowing that clients will soon receive their new creations and the anticipation of the powerful emotions that each piece will evoke. However, there's also a sense that a sculpture is never truly completed. I find myself constantly revisiting pieces, spending months refining folds and stitching to achieve the perfect expression. For me, finishing the clay sculpting stage is always the most challenging mentally, as it marks a pivotal moment in the creation process.

It's important to recognize that each sculpture is a labor of love that takes months to years to complete, not to mention the time spent sketching ideas before even touching clay. Despite the challenges and complexities involved, the studio remains a space of creativity and dedication, where each piece is imbued with meaning and significance. As I continue to pour my heart and soul into my work, I look forward to sharing the finished creations with the world, knowing that they will evoke emotions and resonate with viewers for years to come.
