Raphael Weilguni

Raphael Weilguni collaborated with Viola Relle to create sculptures that organically intertwine and dynamically repel each other. These works reveal an interplay between the viewer's discerning gaze and the intricate objects themselves, generating a tension that has evolved through the artists' collaboration. Using porcelain and ceramics, they meticulously combine materials in detailed compositions, finishing their works with wax and plaster to achieve their final forms.
