About this artwork
human nails XXIII consists of many welded and ground wire nails that form an ascending figure.
The delicate structure seems to dissolve and simultaneously reform within the space, and can be understood as a symbol of the fragility and transformation of human existence. The matte white lacquered surface conveys a calm and understated presence.
The metal sculpture is supported by a base made of fiber-reinforced, black-pigmented concrete, whose… surface, thanks to a brushed wooden formwork, displays a vibrant wood grain. This foundation combines organic and industrial elements, providing a grounding weight to contrast with the figure's floating lightness.
A waxed steel plate forms the finish and firmly anchors the work in the room.

« 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.
