Description Contrapposto
Torso made from basalt lava

I do like the silky surface of the basalt lava. It is extremely well suited for the human body. In the sunlight the cristals are shining from the little hollows.

About 60 cm high
Finished 7/2012

Unfortunately DA is facing a problem with new deviations not showing properly. See support.deviantart.com/entries… . Therefore I uploaded the pictures in a smaller size, that does open up without problems. You may use the download option to see the shot in full size! Enjoy!

Help me to find Mr. Jasper Schuringa and send him this message that I am intended to buy one of his used underpants at the price of 1000$ and complete my installation art.

Thank you Sir,
You are more than welcome, and having viewed more of your gallery I am even more thrilled. You do amazing work in different mediums. I would so wish that some of your wonderful work graced our public gardens and spaces for you work from such a positive viewpoint. You truly are a lover of sensual shape and form. This is why I am a member of DA, and continue to love it, because now and then you come across someone with such stunning talent. I truly hope you work gives you deep satisfaction, and yes, necessarily a means of financial support. I truly do wish I had the money to but some of your wonderful work

Dear Liam,
thanks a lot for your wonderful and heart-warming words and compliments. I share your view that meeting brothers in soul on this platform is great.
I started sculpting nearly 15 years ago; and it changed my life. The meditative work, the sensual work and pieces, have really enriched my life enormously. And I have the luxury of not depending of sculpting financially.
But your work as well tells about a sensitive soul having a positive and caring attitude about your environment. That is wonderful!
Stay well and letΒ΄s keep in touch!

Thank you Michael, I am delighted to have found such an artist on DA and I hope you will not mind if I send private notes sometimes so that I can talk further on your works. They deserve more in depth thought at times than a simple comment.
Liam

I really love the stone for the human body. To me it has a warm and soft look.
I did work about 100h on the piece.
Stay well!
