The diploma thesis approaches the topic of 'intimacy' from the point of view of the obstacles or barriers that we set or that are set for us, obscuring and shaping our intimate image. In the first, theoretical part, these inhibiting factors are divided into external and mental, which represent the so-called barriers, contemplating on how they intertwine or connect with each other. Some of the artists whose works have helped to develop the idea are discussed, after which the thesis focuses on the process of discovering a tangible sculptural image.
In the practical part, through the painting, I dedicate myself to exploring the multifaceted nature of our emotions, thinking about the articulation of the feeling of being trapped and repressed in the material, and about different variations of form. I rely on the codes of the human canon and the golden ratio, but in accordance with the problem, I also indulge in spontaneity. I want the sculpture to evoke a similar emotional response in the body of the observer as in the process of self-discovery that we more or less consciously encounter every day. When designing a physical product, I face the challenges posed by the inevitable balancing of the theoretical and aesthetic aspects of sculpting and, above all, by the translation of feeling into the material world.
