I created this life-size portrait as a commission from a friend. The sculpting took about eight 2-hour sittings. It’s executed in clay, fired, and painted to achieve a faux bronze look. It also has a wax coating for protection, giving a pleasant leathery feel when touched.

This sculpture has been inspired by an ongoing discussion, in both philosophy and in many religious practices, on the subject of self. When do we become aware of 'self'? What is the true 'I'? We certainly have little or no sense of self when we are asleep, do we obtain it back when we wake up?

In my view, we are oneness with the world around us, yet we go about our day with a complete conviction of ourselves being separate beings. Once we start paying attention via meditation we notice that the borders between us and the world blur and disappear in a state of tranquility.

This is my second sculpture version on the subject of self-illusion.

This sculpture is cast in hydrostone, hand polished, primed, painted, and varnished to achieve the satin effect.

This artwork has been selected as a finalist in the representational sculpture category at the American Art Awards.

Human feet are very complex and are not easy to sculpt. Many people are fascinated by human feet. Feet, like hands, can tell a story about someone's life. This work is my attempt at tackling this part of the human body expressively - a beautiful athletic male foot.

This foot is cast in a special hard plaster, hand polished, painted in such a way to achieve a gradient of colour, varnished with a satin finish, and mounted on a stone base. Size (with stone base): 39 H x 13 W x 13 cm

This work has been inspired by two artists of the past: Eadweard Muybridge and Francis Bacon. Initially Myubridge made a series of photos (slow motion) of a child with paralysis that could not walk other than on all fours. This photo series has inspired Francis Bacon to paint two pictures titled "Paralytic child walking on all fours" and "After Muybridge - Woman Emptying a Bowl of Water and Paralytic Child". I could not resist the temptation to continue the story of the child and sculpted the boy.
