About this artwork
In the human flow series, this is the first metal sculpture by Manfred Hellweger.
This consists of 5mm square steel, which was connected by the artist using targeted welding points. The cavities between the bars provide a glimpse into the interior, and in some cases you can even see completely through them.
“Human flow” was derived from the aphorism of the Greek natural philosopher Heraclitus of Ephesus: “Pantha rhei” - everything flows.
Just… as the water in the stream is always in motion, all things, living beings and phenomena in the world are always changing.
Everything changes and develops, nothing stays the same.
“IJIRAQ” comes from Greek mythology and is the name of one of the 82 known moons of Saturn.
The entire surface was treated with hydrochloric acid to obtain a uniform oxidation layer.

« 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.
