Original artwork description:

I started creating leather sculptures during the Covid lockdown, in 2020. With restrictions all around in the outer world, it was a period of reconnecting with the most sensitive parts inside of me. I learned how real strength can be found in softness, how rigid environments become bearable if we are supple, and how we can move past anxiety by becoming vulnerable.

The artwork ’Thrill’ represents a significant moment in my life. The sudden feeling of excitement and pleasure, when after a period of isolation, I got to know someone I felt a deep connection with.

The artwork is made of 28 pieces of circle shaped leather, interlocked in an infinite spiral. The size of elements decreases towards the middle of the object. The sculptural parts are handstitched on a streched leather background, painted with deep red acrylic leather paint. The blue tone of the leather and the red handpainted edges create a dynamic contrast of hot and cold.

The artwork is stretched on a 1.5 cm thick reinforced cardboard frame, ready to hang on the wall.
