Artist Statement
NUCLEUS is a multi-element sculpture made of colourized stainless steel using FiDU technology. Resembling a nimbus or an aureole, it consists of eleven triangular elements composed into an ideal circle.
The juxtaposition of dynamic, even aggressive geometric forms with the soft and regular shape of the circle creates a dramatic effect. Additionally, the elements of the structure change their colour gradually: from emerald green to sapphire blue shades.
