About this artwork
human nails XIX unfolds its form from countless, carefully placed wire pins, which merge into a filigree, abstracted human silhouette through fine welding points.
The sculpture is supported by a fragment of an old hanza – those simple yet indispensable wooden frames once used by farmers during haymaking. With the advent of modern harvesting technology, these silent helpers have almost disappeared, becoming relics of a bygone world of work. In this… series of works, they experience a quiet rebirth and, freed from their original function, enter into a new, artistic dialogue.
The upper section of the steel sculpture was worked with various tools, creating subtle textures and reflections. A matte clear coat protects the surface from oxidation and lends it a timeless durability.

« 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.
