Alex Kveton
Artist Info
My inspiration comes from studying the nature around us. The intricate structure of leaf, robustness, wind blowing through an open window or moon reflecting in water, all creates 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 I create my sculptures. My sculptures, simple yet elegant are intended to enrich, decorate and above all, distinguish the space as beautiful flowers or morning sunlight would do.
Bronze, the material used by sculptors for thousand of years, is my preferred medium. Instead of more common casting and assembly of ready made parts, I prefer fabricating process, physically shaping and forming a flat sheet of metal into sophisticated curvilinear form. To reflect a true poetry of the form, I enhance the character of bronze with magnificent patinas. I also like to work with stainless steel. Beautiful contemporary metal, with its combination of high-mirrored surfaces, transforms simple natural shapes into elegant creations.
