Artist bio

Since i was a little boy, i loved sculpture and enjoyed visiting my uncle's house where he had many sculptures. I' m basically a self taught artist. After living all my life in cities where there was no schools of arts, when i was almost 50 years old, i moved to México city AND lived there for 5 years, where i had the chance to take some courses on sculpture. Two of them at the San Carlos Academy of Fine Arts. I also had participated in some collective and personal exhibitions. I do not live from sculpture, i basically do it for my own joy. I wish i Will do it in the future. I'm open to opportunities to show my work on figurative and modern conceptual sculpture and to receive request for particular designs.

Title

True Spiritual Armour

Medium/Genre

Sculpture

Artist Statement

I used water based clay (cerámic clay) which is usually what i use for sculptures. This material allows me to work well, detailing the art work that i needed to represent Ephesians 6:10-20
Because of the pandemic, which Is going on, i wasn't able to put the sculpture in a kiln to finish It. I hope you understand my Situation because i dont own a kiln.

How it fits into contest

First, i was very happy to find a Christian Art Contest. Which Will allow me to do an sculpture for The Glory of God. This artwork was Made exclusively for The Engage Art Contest.
After reading carefully the information of the Contest, i set my mind and focused on Ephesians 6: 10-20, i got many ideas to work on, i even Made 2 sculptures for me to decide which one i Will finally choose at the end, finally i decided for this one, It was a hard decision, i think this one shows the most of the topic of the contest "The Spiritual Battle between Good and Evil". And "God's Armour" which he gave us to fight the Battle.

Credits

I thank God, because i'm just an instrument of him to create in His name. And what ever i do Is intended to glorify him.
