Radoslaw Keler

Fascinated with the beauty of traditional materials, especially of natural stone, inspired by human body and artistry of old masters, in my work I combine modernity with tradition.

Drawing and modeling from nature is for me a very important part of the creative process. Study of a nude is necessary, extensive issue, encouraging new, more direct considerations. Observing thoroughly, for hours, the complicated construction of human body and complex transformation of certain forms into other and vice versa, trying to grasp the most important thing in several minutes via synthesis, rejecting all unnecessary details, I try to get to the core, to the truth about man, and to realize what a perfect Creation I face.
