‘Only With Creativity Can the Human Race Move Forward’
HUNDERTWASSER (1928 – 2000)
Artist Statement
My work is nearly always based on the human figure, whether in an abstract form or in a more realistic way.
My sculpting process begins with nothing more than a few lines on paper—a skeletal map for an unknown journey. Using wire to translate these lines into three-dimensional space, I build until the work takes on a life of its own. I have a rough idea of what I am trying to create but I rarely know what a piece will end up looking like. For me it is all about feel and movement and emotion.
I often chose not to make things that I know will be easy. I lose interest if it is easy and I am repeating myself. I like a challenge and the excitement of not knowing whether it will work or not.

I want to create beauty, energy and something that will evoke an emotional response in people who see it.
