About this artwork
His works – including this sculpture – invite mindfulness and ask questions about what is essential in life.
The finely sanded surface has been treated with a special wood oil that preserves the natural, light tone of the sycamore maple and protects it from yellowing.
Resting on a massive steel pedestal with a signature, the sculpture maintains its grounding – a contrast to the apparent dissolution of the body into the vertical.

« 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.
