Little Angel II, 2002

Angel II – the part of the original trilogy of angel statues. A work that was partly inspired by various angel sculptures, while writing my thesis on the subject (inspiration from the 19th century – Bouguereau, sculptural realism, Gormley, Wenders, my grandmother’s holy pictures, and even Nabokov’s Lolita). Again, I wanted to leave the viewer in their hidden, unspoken associations and perhaps even in their perversion.
