Statement
I
am American, living in Austria. As historian I decided to
translate ancient aesthetics into modern conditions. One of the areas
of my creative activity is the use of classical designs in
combination with new modern materials. This is how I got Venuses,
cast from epoxy resin, or embodied in papier-mâché and painted with
bright colors. I like to use the Romans of the Republican era as a
basis for male portraits. Or dress my contemporaries in Roman and
Greek clothes.
In
today's world there are many materials that make the work of a
sculptor easier. So, it is not necessary to use heavy plaster when
you can use injection molded plastic. Therefore, now is the time for
women in sculpture - so it seems to me.
In
addition, material abundance allows us to introduce unusual details
into sculptural forms. So, I use natural things together with paints.
My images are made up of grains, nuts, flowers, insects. My next step
will be to use paper, fabric, earth and other constituent elements of
our world as sculptural materials.

By
training I am an ancient historian and archaeologist. My doctoral
dissertation was on Greco-Roman portraiture. So I have a
long-standing interest in portrait art. In addition, while exploring
the sculpture of Greece and Rome, I decided to try to translate
ancient aesthetics into modern conditions. One of the areas of my
creative activity is the use of classical designs in combination with
new modern materials. This is how I got Venuses, cast from epoxy
resin, or embodied in papier-mâché and painted with bright colors.
