Ana Lazovsky Artist Statement

Ana's main motive is humanity. Her main concern in doing her sculptures is for them to convey her feelings to the public and indeed her pieces do express warmth, sensuality, sensitivity, joy of life, love, togetherness, tenderness, strength and motion. Her lines are clean, the curves harmonious and her innate sense of the third dimension and proportion makes her pieces achieve a unique perfection out of carefully planned distortions. Her women are usually big based, even exaggerated and somehow, this bigness, unlike our model's real life ideal, only adds to their beauty and femininity.

She casts her bronzes at a foundry near her home in Bnei Zion, Israel, which uses the lost wax method. She follows the whole process very closely, doing the finishing of the wax models by herself, and carefully supervising the polishing and finishing of her sculptures, up to the very special patinas she chooses. Ana is a perfectionist and each one of her pieces shows it.

“In my sculptures I try to express beauty, harmony in proportions and in the clean and fluid lines, to bring out good feelings of pleasure and peace of mind.  The round full lines and the wide hips in my female figures suggest voluptuosity, sensuality, the essence of femininity.

Working with everlasting materials and dealing with human eternal themes, positive and universal, gives me, besides the feeling of continuity, a more balanced perspective of life and the world.  Especially at these hard times, I find that the search for beauty and aesthetics gives me a sense of internal peace, a caress to the soul, a rising to higher levels that allows me to disconnect from oppressive realities, gives me hope and comfort, widening horizons, enriching the soul.”
