TWINS

SINGLE

MEDUSA

Thinking of what kind of life would

survive the ravages of man,

I get a vision of jellyfishes swimming

around in dark waters.

"Medusa" is made of a green limestone from the

quarries around the Indian city of Udaipur.

Is sculpted in "Make Art In India" facilities in the

hamlet of Mamallapuram, Tamilnadu, India

The size of the original block was 30x40x120cm

ELEPH

Its' rather impossible not to be

influenced by the new

homeland India. 

ELEPH is one of the sculptures

where the body comes out

Tamilnadu's rich image tradition

The sculpture is made out of a block of grey-black

Granite from Kanchipuram, the old capital of the

Pallava Dynasty, 6th century AD.

This granite has crystals that allows you to sculpt

details almost as small as marbles.

The size of the original stone block was

220x135x120cm.

SKYDIVER

I borrowed one of India's

more significant gods to

depict a kategory of enthusiasts

who put their lives at risk

when they exercise the sport.

The grey-black granite is the same as for

the ELEPH

DIGITAL

Out of a block of extremely delicate

limestone from the hamlet of Pero

Pinheiro, Portugal, pops up

a figure holding a kind

of "Digital Card"
