About this artwork
With human flow BESTLA, the artist creates a symbol of diversity, change and renewal.
From leftover pieces of eleven different wood species—maple, oak, spruce, cherry, pine, larch, linden, mahogany, copper beech, walnut, and Swiss stone 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 leftover wood is a conscious statement of transformation… and sustainability: obsolete material is given new life and becomes something whole. The multifaceted material composition reflects the diversity and, at the same time, the interconnectedness of human existence.
Thus, the figure appears both grounded and in motion – a human flow that reinterprets constant change and becoming.
The surface is finely sanded and treated with Scandic Oil, which protects the wood from yellowing and preserves its natural appearance.

« I have always been fascinated by abstracting the human body in order to depict it in a simple and elegant form. »
Manfred Hellweger is an Austrian sculptor whose works are already represented by collectors worldwide.
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.
