Artistic Journeys and Stone Sculpture
Why do we embark on artistic journeys? What is it about art that entice us to it?
Is it the muse as they have been calling it through centuries and is that muse inside us or something else that inspire us?
In progress
Creating art is like giving birth to the ideas on our minds, it is also being connected to the medium ( the stone), be part of it and the process. It is an amazing experience in which I get to connect with nature and the universe through the stone.
When I pick a stone I touch it and feel its texture, look at it and all its angles wetting it to admire its color. I hit it with the hammer to listen to its voice and how it speaks to me.
Then, when I take it home I put her on my sculpting table and I move around it, absorbing it, connecting with it. This process can be fast or slow depending on many factors. Sometimes I see on the stone what I want to carve from it, other times it takes longer to see, to feel….Part of my inspiration cames from the stone itself and most comes from inside me.
The stone gives me” vibrations” when I touch it creating a connection with me and that awakens my desire to work on it. If the stone inspires me it produces a trance like state on me and I feel the need to chisel away and discover that inside the rock that is speaking to me.
Work Area
I believe in the need for a connection within the medium and the artist, without it the creation can be beautiful, flawless, but it lacks soul. Art can be many things and for me it must be soulful, inspiring. The art that makes people stop and look, want to touch, imagine what the artist had in mind….
