Thanks so much, Friends! Much appreciated! :) Forest
Hello Dear,
I discovered recently your exceptional work of sculptor material (“Kato Polyclay” ?) which I never knew existed. Allow me, please, to congratulate you warmly especially for two of your creations :
I believe the sculpture entitled “Eros”, a hand, and inspired by the work of the Danish illustrator Kay Nielsen, a young woman on a polar bear, are absolutely beautiful and seduces me much.
I know the work of Kay Nielsen, which I appreciate, and I have the original French edition published in Henri Piazza (Paris). Truly and without exaggeration, you managed a feat on both scuptures different, at least in déouvrant only photographic reproductions of them on the internet ? !…
On your website it seems not to be said that your splendid sculptures are commercially available, for sale, even in very limited pieces ? Excuse me speak as directly as appropriate, but the sculpture “Eros” and that inspired by Kay Nielsen deserve to be, if this is possible (?) “duplicated for buy” ? But perhaps did you think of it ?
I’m just a humble amateur and not a collector. Nevertheless, here are many years that I appreciate very much the tales and legends from all sources and illustrators, including Kay Nielsen, Edmund Dulac, Willy Pogany and many others who were able to create this universe, this sensitivity.
I also like some writers, such as Lord Dunsany, Algernon Balckwood or JRR Tolkien, retaining only those famous names express a certain poetic tales close in their works. Similarly for the large current pictorial Pre-Raphaélisme English which I pay a lot of attention.
My knowledge of the English language is perhaps not good and you will excuse and the form of this ?
Is there a way to acquire a copy of both sculptures mentioned, thank you kindly inform me ?
I live in Switzerland, and unfortunately I’ve never seen sculptures in a matter similar to that which you use quality closer, even very distantly from yours ?
Thank you very much in advance for any reply and congratulations again for your talent and my warmest greetings for Easter Holiday
