Leaving
aside being Dentist in Cancun I want
to tell you in this German Arzate
blog about my other passion: Sculpture.
When I
finished my career and I became a dental surgeon, I continued taking certifications to perform certain
procedures, like Paulo Malo’s All on 4
treatment. But to become a sculptor I didn’t follow the same path. I didn’t get
proper education in sculpture, I didn’t take classes and I didn’t study art.
The way I learned was a bit different but still effective.
Since I was
a kid I started learning by myself art techniques and I experimented with many
materials making my knowledge all self-taught. I enjoyed doing sculptures and
that’s why I started practicing it more and more. Now I have been practicing it
all my life and I can happily say I am getting the opportunity of showing my
art in an exhibition in New York.
I have had
some exhibitions here in Mexico and I’m very pleased to show the work I do to
other people. Now in New York I’m hoping I can reach more people in this
exhibition sharing some of my most important sculptures.
I gotta say
I have been a great fan of surrealism and many other great painters and
sculptors. My greatest inspirations: Miguel Angel, Da Vinci, Picasso, Dali, Remedios Varo. In my sculpture I try to
create “duality”, the mix of images and shapes capable of merging to create a
single form, my work has been called of being part of what people often name as
“fantastic realism”.
What I have
always found fascinating in the world of sculpture is the magic, mysticism,
perfection and duality that can be achieved by creating an sculpture with
different ways or points of view like 2 different objects that depending on the
place you observe them you can appreciate either one or another making it a
marvelous sculpture.
