Symbolic- Modern day sculpture art has evolved greatly from the traditional sculpture as it was understood, for example, in Ancient Greece or Rome. This evolution is traced in many aspects of the art – from the techniques and materials used to the featured characters and understanding of the aesthetics itself. However, there is still one aspect that remained unchanged throughout the whole history of this fine art, and this is the deep meaningfulness of/ in sculptures.

Clay, a material straight out of the earth, which comes in the same wet state for everyone — presents many challenges and stages that we must learn and appreciate. This amazingly versatile and inexpensive material, at times kind and at others punishing, continues to thrill and challenge artists. Years of expertise, dedication and determination have helped sculptors to shape this ordinary material into artworks of unprecedented beauty. |
