The Artist
David Falossi
Sculpture is how I communicate my perspective, vision, and wonder of the miraculous equation of life.
I want to entice the viewer with beauty- not just visual attraction but a physical feeling that moves and resonates. I look for the spirit of my subject. Why is this happening? What is it about this theme that inspires me? Can it have a positive affect on people? There is a pattern of my subject matter to engage the viewer and redirect focus from the visual to the deeper meaning and the more profound potential in all of us.
I have a series of work that deals with essential components of creation and life itself, a series about the human condition and how capable we all can be, and another series that explores the aspects of life and character that transcends mortality.
I use stone because it is a link to the earth; its richness and varieties are a miracle in itself. I have found that carving stone is the most difficult of all the artistic mediums. The difficulty in the medium requires the sculptor to commit to a long and difficult process that yields a great reward. For me, the process is similar to the journey of life. Glass in my sculpture represents the human spirit, life, and the miraculous. When I combine these materials I am symbolically creating the equation that makes all life possible.
Through my artwork I share my message, and have carved in stone my understanding of our place in this incredible world. For this gift I would like to thank God for my talent, my parents and teachers for their confidence, my collectors for their enthusiasm, and my wife Elena for her love, her patience while modeling, and for being my media director. I would also like to thank my kids: David II, Alexander, Marissa, Adam, Mariana, Christopher, and Isabella for their invaluable help. David Falossi
