About this artwork
From leftover pieces of eleven different types of wood – maple, oak, spruce, cherry, pine, larch, linden, mahogany, beech, walnut, and Swiss pine – he forms an abstract human figure. The vertically arranged strips are reminiscent of a flowing stream and lend the figure an organic dynamism.
The use of residual wood is a conscious statement for transformation and… sustainability.
Past materials are given a new life and become a whole. The multifaceted composition of materials reflects the diversity and, at the same time, the interconnectedness of human existence.
Thus, the sculpture appears both grounded and in motion. A human flow that reinterprets constant change and becoming.

« I have always been fascinated by abstracting the human body in order to depict it in a simple and elegant form. »
He is particularly known for his minimalist approach, in which he reduces forms to their essential elements.
Hellweger's work embodies the idea that nothing is permanent; everything evolves and changes. Each of his sculptures reflects a deep engagement with the materials and themes he explores.
Despite their simplicity, his works are deeply expressive and, by reducing them to the essentials, offer a metaphor for mindfulness and contentment.
