The Sculpture of Life: A Reflection on Time.🧭⏰ The image we observe is an evocative sculpture that combines the faces of a girl and an old woman, symbolizing the cycle of life. This work of art invites us to reflect on the passage of time and the way we perceive our existence from childhood to old age. The union of these two faces in a single sculpture reminds us of the inevitable transition of time. Youth and old age are nothing more than stages of the same journey, connected by the continuity of life. This work urges us to value every moment, to live fully and to respect the wisdom of the elderly. So why do we want the minutes and years to come back when we know they never will? This question resonates in the mind as we contemplate the sculpture. Melancholy arises from the desire to make up for lost time, to correct mistakes and to relive happy moments. However, the real teaching lies in learning to appreciate the present and honoring the legacy of those who have traveled this path before us. Sculpture reminds us that time is a finite resource, and invites us to live with purpose, to connect deeply with our loved ones and to value the wisdom of the elders, who, with their experience, illuminate our path. Such is the paradox of human existence. Love and Light. Cedit goes to Mariana Navarro #MichellePrice #Healingworld

History of Sculptures! The history of sculpture is a rich and diverse story that spans thousands of years and encompasses different cultures, materials and styles. Sculpture, as an artistic expression, has evolved along with the development of human civilization, reflecting the beliefs, values and technological advances of different societies. https://lnkd.in/dKceZssU #Bartholomé #sculptures #createyourownsculpture #outdoorsculptures #OutdoorSculptures #bartholomepremiumsculptures #extraordinarysculptures #indoorsculpture #gardensculpture

Saw this sculpture in a gallery in Santa Fe. It really spoke to me (other than the car in the background). We are both light and darkness. They reside in us simultaneously all the time. How we balance them makes all the difference. This sculpture put it in clear focus. The light, being on the bottom, has to be stronger to support the dark. When we build our strength in light and love, we can hold the darkness where it cannot hurt us, interfere with our plans and goals or manipulate our thinking. Clearly, we need a strong "backbone" as evidenced in this sculpture to accomplish this. Building a strong backbone requires us to remain steadfast with our commitments, desires, goals and dreams. With strength, the light sees in perfect orientation. And the darkness is upside down and disoriented. Yes, we all have a dark side. But life is all about the ability to overcome that dark side by focusing our attention on the light. How do you focus on the light? Are you seeing the light in your life? Or do you let your dark side manipulate your reality?

#snsinstitutions #snsdesignthinkers #designthinking This is my most favourite place in our college, The sculpture "உளியும் நானும்". It depicting a man carving himself typically represents themes of self-discovery, personal growth, and self-creation. This kind of sculpture symbolizing the process of shaping one's own identity, character, and destiny. The imagery suggests that an individual has the power to transform and mold themselves through their actions and decisions. It can also imply the importance of introspection and self-awareness in personal development. The sculpture captures the idea that each person has the ability to take control of their own narrative and evolve into the person they aspire to be.

‏A Map as Vast as the Seas ‏One of my projects involved designing and creating a relief sculpture of a world map, crafted to appear like an antique metal sheet. This piece was made for the wall of a shipping company, and at its heart, I incorporated a depiction of one of their ships, based on a photo they provided. ‏My goal with this project was to blend a sense of antiquity with the company’s identity—representing the connection between history and maritime trade, a symbol of voyages, adventures, and global connections. ‏📸 What are your thoughts on this piece? I’d love to hear your feedback! ‏#WallArt #Sculpture #WorldMap #Maritime #Shipping #Creativity #Art

sculpture on the theme of friendship as the "lazy and comfortable zone of our life" sounds intriguing! How did you express this idea through the sculpture? Did you use certain poses, expressions, or objects to convey that sense of ease and relaxation between friends? I'd love to hear more about the concept and how you brought it to life!

#sulenetaylorart #themindisahouse #digitalvectorart sulenetaylorart.com/blog/ Inspiration from Artworks (#7) ThreeSheep House is part of #themindisahouse art series. It has been inspired by a sculpture by Cees van Swieten. He is a Dutch sculptor who normally uses two types of materials to create animals in an open space. The work which stirred my imagination was made from rocks fused with metal to create three fun looking sheep. Van Swieten’s work matches the theme of #themindisahouse. He takes different types of matter and fuse a new “revelation” out of mere rock and scrap metal. Our minds work in a similar way and use different stimuli which over time gets fused together to form new disclosures. Using the creation of ThreeSheep House as a trivial example, I will explain how one’s mind can put together different ideas and images in one concept. (More ... sulenetaylorart.com/blog/)

There are multiple dimensions to the total senses.

This raises the question: What is a great art Master? A great #artmaster is one that at such venerable age is capable of generating a succinct yet powerful statement such as #Serra ‘s one: ‘the virtual denies tactility’; and by doing so gives way to a #counter narrative on the positive impact of #AI #VR and the likes on the realm of art. As #richardserra puts it, the #virtual kills the full character of art as an #arsthetic #experience ; because, in order for the aesthetic experience to exist, one needs all the senses to be activated by art, including the tactile one. Listen to Serra for a better understanding of what a #visionary and a #master in the field of art is about!!
