Long ago in the Paleolithic age :-), … well … shortly … a long time ago … I was using Modurit to create items … an awesome thing – that invention … I was in the first year of primary school … and we spent all our free time creating … painting … the school and the duties coming first, then experiments … there was still something to create and to test … in winter, with the first snow, we built dinosaurs, elephants … not snowmen – these were left for the others. Then came the cyber period … units and nulls … games, graphics programs, mouse in hand … programming, creating sitting on a chair … on the monitor … on disks … it was a long and a very interesting period … (especially the returns from virtual reality in the real one …). The work in the graphic studio was varied and I really enjoyed it … it lasted for about 10 years … we made everything, including business cards, posters, billboards, TV shots, video clips, photography, shooting films, animations and visualizations in 3D animation programs, sitting in front of the computer for 10 hours a day … 7 days a week … all the time … always. Well, as the saying goes … life is a change, and I needed a change, too … movement, in particular. The construction period started … my visualizations were made into an opportunity to have them materialized and realized in practice … logistics, construction works, building materials, interior designing, etc. … and at this work … especially at finishing interiors stressing the details, I came to realize how serious and challenging the uniqueness and atmosphere of the space was, and how important it is to have a piece of luck, to employ the right taste and emphasis in the final stage of work. These days, the possibilities are amazing, one can say – unlimited.. – which can be a complication at times – how not to bungle a thing, or the interior, how not to have it overloaded or over combined. Nice interiors do not really need much … it always holds true that less is more … one, two nice pieces and the overall atmosphere of the space gets “spicy” … I was hunting for various original pieces … all around. .. and I found and used many of them … and at web I happened to find the statue of Lady Justice I needed for an interior of a client … and when I got it, I was so touched, so delighted and interested that I started to look for materials and technical procedures … the know- how or how to call it :-).
So the internet + workshops … studies … and hurrah for the experiment … and here I was again at creative, cool work, a “Brufen” inspiration, as I called it, as my eighth tooth started to ache, and so I had had it extracted, and the pain was over … but the creation and experiments have continued … production of details – figures for the interior, both gift and empirical, minimal, with maximum symbolic and poetic value … hope you will like them … :-). After about 10 years of graphics, about 10 years of construction works … The next 3 years spent experimenting with materials and technologies; with iron – a heavy material – I used the grinders, welders, plasma; with wired products I used copper, tin and Paverpol glue; with stoneware, a temperature resistant glue … and the result is “mutuality” of man and woman … finally, this topic has
always been close to my heart, it captures us and is eternal !!!
… and if everything goes well, in a few years I will be experimenting and making small and big pieces for the interiors …
