SHIRA ⎮ZELWER

I use art to glorify ordinary subjects and instances and thus compel the observer to focus on them in detail. I sculpt with raw wax, constantly exploring new ways to manipulate it and once shaped I paint them. The painting process brings the sculptures back to life, I paint the sculptures in a very precise and detailed manner, however, not perfect, imitating life. I would like to allow the observer, when facing my subjects, often common objects, experience desire and compassion towards them.”
