Travel Companion - Melon on Head (2020) Sculpture by Gaby Pühmeyer

Gaby Pühmeyer is a contemporary German sculptor. In designing her work, Pühmeyer is inspired by the world of myths, dreams and nature; as well as symbols that have accompanied human history for millennia. For many years she has worked on the subject of animals and humans, and the relationship between humans and animals and their environment has recently increased their influence on their work. Animals are not only important symbols for humans in the external world, they can also be understood, as in myths and fairy tales, as representations of the self, of mental processes.

The artist places a lot of importance on the use of color, especially blue, turquoise, and white, which are the colors of the sky and come in many hues. Since blue is regarded as a magical color, it can best aid in the transmission of their ideas. She chooses clay because it differs from all other materials and can be used to form plastic in a variety of ways. It gives the surface of sculptures and other objects a living structure.
