my artworks, I explore the fusion between the materialistic and spiritual world as experienced in everyday life. I create sculptures that range from the abstract to concrete image, using different materials which I select to contrast and create tension to the main theme of the work; Like wings carved in hard stone or a heart-shaped birthday cake made from barbed- wire for an exhibition marking fifty years of occupation. This tension between the material and the image is the driving force of my art. In examining the boundaries of materials, I explore the limitations of me as a creator who beliefs that man is the only one who confines himself and his spiritual and substantial development. svika.art@gmail.com http://svikaaltman.co.il
