About this artwork
The evenly spaced wooden cubes made of larch, linden, and maple can be interpreted as a symbol for the universe or a matrix. A structured, virtually limitless system of recurring units. They represent order, regularity, and the fundamental architecture of space and existence.
Within this structure, the tree unfolds as a counterpoint. Crafted from welded… wire nails and U-nails, it embodies life, growth, and change. Its flowing, dynamic form permeates the rigid structure, bringing movement to the seemingly fixed system.
The work thus explores the interplay between cosmic order and individual development. The tree serves as an expression of change within a larger, structured world.

« 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.
