SCULPTURES & ARTWORKS
IN 2020 I STARTED MY FIRST BUSINESS - SCOLPIRE.ART
AT FIRST IT WAS JUST AN ESTY SHOP THAT I SOLD A FEW ART PIECES EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE AND BEFORE LONG THE BRAND WENT VIRIAL ON INSTAGRAM AND GREW INTO SOMETHING I NEVER COULD HAVE IMAGINED.
IT WAS A SIMPLE CONCEPT - SCULPTURES ON A CANVAS.
MY FIRST FEW PIECES WERE MADE OF VARIOUS MEDIUMS AND VARIOUS WAYS AND IN THIS BREIF IM GOING TO SHOW THE VARIETY OF PIECES AND HOW I FABRICATED THEM.
SCOLPIRE IS AN EXPRESSION OF SIMPLICITY THROUGH OUT EACH COLLECTION.
IT WAS CREATED IN EFFORT TO BEAUTIFY EVERYDAY LIVING.
THE FIRST PIECE CREATED WAS THE FEMALE BODY NO. 1 -
IT WAS A SIMPLE AND MINIMALISTIC PIECE THAT WAS THOUGHTFULLY PAINTED USING HEAVY BODY MEDIUMS AND MINIMAL COLORING.
ORIGINAL FEMALE BODY
CREATION
THIS PIECE LAID THE FOUNDATION SKILLS FOR ALL OF THE FUTURE PIECES TO BE CREATED.
THE PROCESS WAS SIMPLE - I USED PAINTING SPATULA’S AND HEAVY BODY MEDIUM TO CARVE OUT THE HIPS AND LOWER HALF OF THE FIGURE.
I THEN CREATED A WAIST LINE AND SHOULDERS TO ACHIEVE CORRECT PROPORTIONS AND THEN SCULPTED OUT THE CHEST AND ARMS.
THIS SCULPTING METHOD IS STILL THE WAY I CREATE ALL OF THE PIECES TODAY.
MOST RECENT VERSION
MY TECHNIQUE AND SKILLS HAVE EVOLVED A LOT SINCE 2020 WHEN I MADE THE FIRST FEMALE FIGURE - THE PHOTO ON THE LEFT SHOWS THE MOST RECENT VERSION OF THE FIGURE I HAVE CREATED AND THE RENDERING OF THE PIECE WITH TIME SHOWS DRASTICALLY - IT ALMOST APPEARS AS TWO DIFFERENT PIECES.
SHORTLY AFTER THE CREATION OF THE FEMALE BODY I CREATED THE ABSTRACT SERIES
THE ABSTRACT COLLECTION WAS CREATED WITH THE SAME CONCEPT BUT BY SIMPLY LAYERING THE TECHNIQUE ON THE CANVAS TO CREATE VISUAL TEXTURE.
IN THE VIDEO YOU CAN SEE THE PROCESS OF MIXING THE MEDIUMS WITH THE ACRYLICS AND THEN APPLYING THEM TO THE CANVAS.
AFTER CREATING THESE PIECES I VENTURED INTO PLASTERS AND OTHER STONE LIKE MEDIUMS…
THE CREATION OF THE ABSTRACT NO. 3 WAS A CRITICAL SINCE IT WAS THE MOMENT THAT SPARKED MY IMAGINATION FOR THE TEXTILE PIECES TO FOLLOW.
I CREATED MY OWN CUSTOM MIX OF PLASTER, SAND, AND HEAVY BODY GEL TO CREATE A MORE FLEXIBLE STONE LIKE MEDIUM THAT WOULD NOT CRACK AND WOULD LOOK LIKE A TRUE STONE SCULPTURE ON A CANVAS.
THIS WAS THE START OF THE TEXTILE COLLECTION….
THE TEXTILE COLLECTION CAME FROM AN ABUNDANT OF INSPIRATION FROM THE TEXTURE OF FABIC.
STILL TO THIS DAY I AM FASCINATED BY THE WAY DRAPERY AND FABRIC MOVE AND FLOW. IT WAS SOMETHING I HAD BEEN DESIRING TO CAPTURE IN A PIECE.
FABRIC PLACEMENT
FABRIC PLASTER COATING
FABRIC CURING
I STARTED WITH A 40” X 60” CANVAS AND ROUGHLY 5 METERS OF HEAVY LINEN FABRIC
I MADE A DELUTE OF MY PLASTER MIXURE AND COATED THE ENTIRE FABIC
THEN I FOLDED AND POSITIONED THE FABRIC IN THE WAYS THAT I WANTED IT TO CURE AND SET
AFTER A FEW MINUTES THE FABRIC WAS A SOLID SCULPTURE AND BEGAN TO SET IN STONE
TO THIS DAY THIS MASTER PIECE HANGS ABOVE MY BED AND IS ONE OF MY FAVORITE PIECES I HAVE MADE.
