Your work is very interesting. I am a graduating BFA student and our portfolio exhibition will be held in May 2011. My present artistic practice includes organic sculptures. Nice to interact with you in this forum.
Wonderment!!
Hi Alette,
Allow me to introduce myself and tell you I like your work. It is contemporary, modern, avant-garde, conceptual ... but most important: aesthetics. It is a work simple, minimalist and yet fraught with existential and experiential knowledge of human beings.
We also observed a training, three-dimensional domain, the volume, architecture and, it is clear rules should possess every artworks: rhythm, balance, composition, etc, etc ... other details appreciable the integration and use of various materials.
Congratulations! our greetings and our admiration,
Mariojosé.
