Akiva Huber - The International Scultor From Haifa

by Benson Agoha | Art

Art is a powerful tool for expression of ideas and feelings and for sculptors, it's even more so, as what they thing somehow, manages to be shown in unique ways. The thing is, great sculptors are almost certainly great artists for both work together perfectly.

It is not impossible to see their joint works in group exhibition as in solo ones.

Akiva Huber describes himself as a `second generation of holocaust victims'. And says "I found myself more sensitive and more aware of the duality of life". He says he focuses on the never ending struggle with `myself and with my surroundings'.

The Israeli from Haifa says, his experiences, find expression in his works such as "The Expulsion from Eden" "The Escape from Sodom" and "Absalom My Son".

"My sculptures typically express composition and connection between fluency, movement, round lines and their reflection of dual emotional spiritual goal. I try to express dialogue between open spaces and structures between pure beauty and movement reflecting sensuality and lust of life."

"I attempt to materialize the mysterious duality and the link between man and women in order to create figures both androgynous and homogenous.

"I am always passing from one sculpture to another with social conscience, challenging conventional material, expressing novelty and wit and the metamorphosis of shape and color."

"I am trying to express the human spirit through curved body language reflecting the time we live in. In the process of sculpting, the means and the ways are just as important to me as the final goal."
