“ During the sculpting process, the element of fire is my primary tool. This powerful force of creation provides me with a deep connection to nature and life itself. The observation of burning flames, sparks and galactic activity draws me to
the extraordinary, almost celestial dimension of this work with its potential for fantasy and escape “
Bio
Nimrod began his creative life at a very young age sculpting in his father’s workshop. After traveling around the world for many years Nimrod finally settled in Marbella, Spain in 1999, setting up his own workshop and gallery. It was here where he began to develop his personal and direct method for sculpting. To date, his unique sculptures are greatly sought after by leading international galleries.
His craft involves working artistically solely from wrought iron. One-of-a-kind sculptures are created using over one thousand individual pieces of metal. Ancient forging techniques are employed, welding, power hammering, plasma torch etc… all enabling the creation of textures, effects and shapes, rendering his sculptures highly unique in style and appearance.
These working methods permit a complete transformation of brutal, base metal into something beautiful, gentle, light, curvaceous… even soft.
The evolution of Nimrod’s work is held by a landscape of forms, from organic natural shapes to delicate or muscular animals and expressive faces. Yet long-lasting focus and passion are found in the creation of his hugely popular graceful, sensual, majestic, often ethereal female torsos.
The artist’s workshop contains a separate gallery space occupying two floors where sculptures can be viewed during visiting hours or by prior appointment.
“The light, heat and fire energy permit me to give birth to an entirely new entity. Looking at the finished piece of art I can see it in its entirety, from its humble metal beginnings through the creative process into new diverse textures,
forms and surfaces. Each sculpture gradually takes on a life of its own and using me as its tool develops its own personality.”
“The versatility of iron is impressive once you understand its properties and realize its capabilities”
