ferro Art Fink is my company for fine art in the field of iron art. I am an iron artist and create art objects in the areas of sculpture and mechanical art. The works are hand-forged and mostly contain a mechanical function. My works illustrate the symbiosis in nature between aesthetics and mechanics, i.e., between appearance and utility. Everything is in motion, and mechanics is an integral part of nature. The sound of nature, represented by the sound elements, forms the bridge between the worlds and is a permanent connection to everything.
Mechanical Sculptures
In 2021, the film "Hugo Cabret" with Ben Kingsley was the initial spark for the creation of hand-forged automatons. From then on, I dedicated my art to figurative art mechanics.
My works are 75% made of forged iron, supplemented by mechanical components: chains, pinions, drive belts, and cam gears. Other materials such as bronze are also available. Brass and wood are used. The sculptures all have lightly treated surfaces.
Nature itself serves as a source of inspiration for my creations, or rather, my muse, but the Zytglogge clockworks also inspired my sound automatons.
My earthly role models include:
- Jean Tinguely
- Bernhard LuginbĂĽhl ... and, of course, other artists in the field of artistic mechanics and figurative automaton construction.
