Ode to Morandi

Abstraction from reality!
Giorgio Morandi (1890-1964) was an Italian painter and etcher. He specialized in still lifes that radiate great tranquility. From the moment I got to know his paintings, I am a fan. Morandi opts for simple subjects and leaves out the unnecessary. The painted objects are hardly recognizable, everything is a bit crooked and messy. The order is important, the arrangement of forms and colours, the space between them.
You can see these elements in my sculpture. It's made of four different kind of stones, with natural colours: travertine, bluestone, marble and alabaster. You can arrange your own still life, as most fit for the situation.
