About this artwork
Bode agate on bronze
Agates are a large gemstone family. There are agates in many different colors, color combinations and drawings. This one has a nice unusual blue-grey colour. It's not colored. The bode agate is found in the Harz Mountains in Germany.
A torso is the capture of beauty based on ancient models. At the same time, the question arises as to how much liveliness and expression is possible through body language without the help of… head, hands, arms, legs.
Stone and bronze are combined in an unusual combination of sculpture and plastic that merges almost seamlessly. This creates a dramatic tension, a kind of polarity. The sculpture is unique, a piece of jewelery to set up.

« Whatever the material, form or approach, one topic always remains paramount: the human being. »
The path of German painter and sculptor Stefanie von Quast led from studies in painting and graphic design to training in sculpture and bronze casting. She utilizes a variety of techniques and materials to seamlessly transition between painting and sculpture, with particular attention to color, drawing, and surface texture. The focus is on the human being from a unique, positive perspective. Body language and posture intuitively reflect the dynamics of interpersonal relationships.
For several years now, she has been painting using mixed media on thin stone slabs, blending the stone's natural grain with the painting. This represents a further step toward merging painting and sculpture. In her sculptures, special techniques create a harmonious blend of stone and bronze.
She has been working as a freelance artist for over 30 years, with regular exhibitions, art fairs and numerous commissions.
