My work represents a part of the American
pre-Columbian history. Each piece is created by hand, using method, materials,
and symbols developed by the people of that era. Without use of mechanical
tool, cast or molds, varnishes, stains or glazes, this work of art shows
the unity between man and universe, duality perfectly understood for the
ancient people. Although they didn't have a formal written language, they
developed a kind of symbolism. This primitive symbolism has been similar
in different ages and geographical places in the world because these people
used descriptions and comparatives elements to create them. For example,
dots represent rain drops, zigzags mean mountains, triangle figures represent
houses and the spirals mean time. Their actions, feelings and emotions
were expressed using this symbolism. They put together earth, water, air,
fire and knowledge.
I do the same. |
