Traits of compassion

Each and every one of us has his own intrinsic and extrinsic traits that determine the character and personality we are ...

In this exhibition, I went in depth of the human Psyche, searching through my sculptures for its human traits, provoking its inner energy power by abstracting the details on the outer surface of the art works...

Throughout my artistic career, I was obsessed by capturing and penetrating the Human Energy to preserve its power within my sculptures ... I wanted the reflection of this power to reach the viewers’ senses, be it joy or sadness, be it challenge, hope or despair... wondering whether these paradoxes do form our features, or our features are formed as a result of our genetic structure..

In this exhibition, I do hope that the viewers’ intrinsic energy fuses with the power within of my art works to outline together a new trait for a humanitarian international community.
