Gate of Kings

Material: Walnut, Bronze

The work is made in memory of my parents and belongs to an entire series - Gate of Kings - carved in wood or cast in bronze or stone. It is one of the works that mark the beginning of my second period of creation where my works become more simplified and geometric with sharp edges, architectural, monumental forms. They also contain metal inlays: different geometric symbols like the circle, the square or the triangle. Many of my works from this period are inspired by ancient cultures. Gate of Kings is inspired by the Chinese culture and civilisation, in particular by the symbol of royalty and the geometric symbols like the circle and the square are completing its meaning.
