New era

Here’s the video teaser presented in New York City on May 13th. Thanks to my friend Gina Rudan.
This clip has been so interesting and so much fun to produce… expect to see this new type of creation a lot in the future, because I just can’t imagine creating without using video now.
Still a lot to learn with compression / editing / effects.. this first shot was a good intro to another great journey ahead.

Once you reveal the infinite creative being that you are, you can express it effortlessly in any area. I’m here to make you realise that.

Why limiting myself to sculpture ?

Not sure about the reason, but even before Jan 1st, it was obvious that 2009 would represent the next step in my evolution. the amazing people I have met, the new vision of art, of what I create, of spirituality…this sense of being on a mission to inspire the world too… everything is clicking.

Last couple of weeks have been a total discovery, working on a video project. I just love to try different mediums, photography, video, and my eyes are already on music.. this variety of forms of art will certainly provide balance, and a strong elevation of creativity. Working too long on something is never fun, not for a character like mine anyway.

Sculpture is probably the most challenging form of art. Everything, every detail has to be perfect, otherwise even the non expert eye (my favorite public by the way) instantly notices that “something’s wrong”. Ironically, it is perhaps why I love to sculpt so much.

Fast is key. The faster you experience, the faster you learn, the faster you expand your creativity. The texture / volumes experiments that you have seen are not just the result of “moments of fun”, they are the roots of the future Seb Zar. These moments are probably at the core of what an artist really is, because you can’t plan nor force them. There is nothing to learn. It just is. The Universe decides about the perfect and totally unexpected time. So you’d better stay in tune with it.

So let’s get back to work on exciting projects, let’s build bridges between all the different art forms, and let’s share the fascinating results with you asap

Unplug the brain…put some music….breathe….let the hands talk….

Virtual Kiss

This piece is an exploration into a mix between realism and comic style. I just love to sculpt hair masses. It’s almost the abstract moment of the piece.

Paris tu m’inspires…

If you have the chance to visit, make sure you take the time to go to one of our amazing museums. I especially love the Musee D’Orsay and Le Louvre.

Fractals !

I love to experiment with repetitions of very simple forms. Since the end of last year I’ve started to work a bit with metal and welding. Totally new experience, and for sure it will serve my style’s evolution, even on very “organic” human faces and bodies.
This maquette was made for a sponsor who wanted to compliment her garden with a sculpture, something futuristic and abstract. She loves it.

… but not only. It’s always good to learn different things, to express creativity through other medias. Although I don’t think of drawing as an absolute necessity to learn to master sculpture, it certainly helps. I like to draw fast and try to capture the subject with just a few planes.

Rule of thumb : The more I work, the seldom I post here on the blog.
It’s funny to see that in term of communication, few posts means slow activity to the general public. In fact it is the opposite. This is the good news.
The bad news is, not only I am crazy busy, but in top of that I’m cruel, as you will only get to see a teaser of my next sculpture …
