ALEX KVETON
ARTIST STATEMENT
My inspiration comes from studying the nature around us. The intricate structure of a leaf, robustness of grass wind blowing through an open window, or moon reflecting in the water, all create the logical harmony of our nature’s “building blocks”. The nature is pure, clean, and precious in its own creation. Such insights are on my mind when creating sculptures, elegant, intended to enrich, decorate and above all distinguish the space as beautiful flowers or morning sunlight would. In my figurative sculptural work, I incorporate into my abstract vision a timeless beauty of a human form, creating well-balanced and beautiful figures, all in relaxed posture, all with a sense of strength and integrity. Beyond the composition there is the craftsmanship, the attention to detail, the fabrication, the polished finishes, and the beautiful color patinas.
In addition to sculptures, my paintings and relief prints bridge the gap between 2 and 3 dimensions and explore the visual relationship between the two artistic arenas.
