This sculpture is based on the writings of Franz Kafka, where the feelings, fears and doubts of man are shown. In a world dominated by screens and technologies, we forget to observe man as a unit. The sculpture represent these characteristics of the human being, from the armor that covers him different states of man are presented: "El Iluso Que Mira las Estrellas" represents innocence, sensitivity,.... Alberto Letamendi, is an artist from Ordizia (Basque Country) born in 1964. In his work, whether in painting or sculpture, he uses various techniques with a preference for natural materials such as fe powder, wood and pigments. His series "ITXAROPENA" - Hope - is a work, inspired by Basque heritage. The artist with his characters dressed in traditional Basque costumes, shows us his vision of local solidarity and mutual aid. The human warmth released by the bright colors, refers to the idea of communion and unity that exists in its territory.

In 2019, the artist inaugurated a sculpture "Elkarri Begirra" commissioned by the city of Tolosa (Spain), to celebrate the peace process in the Basque Country. Contemporary, mixed media painting.

  • 'Wave' Abstract Glass Sculpture
    By Petr Stacho
    Located in Rye, NY
    Wave is a unique glass sculpture created in the Kiln with cut, cast and polished uranium glass. The blue and green tones illuminate in the light to create movement as one sees in the ocean. Petr Stacho uses hot-glass techniques in order to create objects of sculptural character, decorated in a sophisticated manner while all the lines and shades of the surface are the result of thoughtful designs and elaborate work with liquid glass. Glass art combines hard physical work with craftsmanship, manufacturing technology with subtle mental processes. Stacho apparently chose the triangle as a symbol of intuitive search for perfection and a balance of all these elements of glass art – the ideal perfection of the artist’s vision which is being constantly disturbed and interfered with by human imperfection and the random interventions resulting from the unpredictable nature of the glass itself. Basic geometrical forms are invaded by the artist’s intent while retaining a striking resemblance to patterns defined originally by Mother Nature – melting ice or freezing liquid, meteorite minerals or transparent substances, all colliding in a dynamic environment of physical natural relations and human imagination. Petr sculptures are collected and have been exhibited world wide from his home land of The Czech Republic to China, London, Germany and will be shown at SOFA Chicago in USA by Ai Bo Gallery...
