Technique & Medium: Sculpture, molding, fiberglass and cement.

What inspired you to create this piece?
I was inspired by those magical moments when the sky is approaching dusk and the moon is about to emerge from the horizon. I just let my imagination run wild.

Can you tell us the process that went into this piece?
Well I took the concept I had in mind and translated it into a model. Then I started to work with clay, sculpting it into shape. After that I used a plaster mold to shape up the fiberglass structure. I finished the piece off by spraying it with car lacquer.

What does the little pink figure on the big man’s shoulder represent?
It represents the woman that I love and who I took along with me to my world of imagination. She embodies desire and happiness.

What is the idea behind the use of soft colors?
The color palette I used is based on the sky from dusk, all the way to dawn.

How does this piece reflect your exhibition as a whole?
This exhibition is all about letting yourself go with imagination. The moon and the nighttime are a great source of creativity for most artists, and this sculpture helps portray that.
