Creation of the sculptures
Individual sculptures and sculpture groups can be created in almost any size and suitable for any international location. The models are made from plaster, wax or clay. Afterwards, small editions of sculptures made of bronze or Aluminum, as well as unique pieces made of wood or ceramics, are created. New and exciting are Colored sculptures made of artificial stone.
In her search for the poetic and essential, Wiebke Bader finds inspiration in nature. The organic forms and flowing lines of her mostly abstract sculptures complement each other to create a tense harmony. Wiebke Bader enjoys working with contrasts: round versus pointed, small next to large, open versus closed. The objects entice the viewer to explore the curves and the play of light on their surfaces. She enjoys experimenting with different materials: wood, artificial stone, colored lacquers, and, of course, bronze.
The artist's joy of life is reflected in her work: shiny surfaces, opulent shapes, steadfast and floating at the same time, playful and yet calm. Wiebke Bader knows how to express deep feelings with abstract sculptures. Her works are also characterized by great variability: they offer new views from all sides and can often be set up in different positions.
"Art is the expression of the spirit. It is not based on the technique of the hands, but on the sincerity of the heart." Confucius 551 – 479 BC
