Sculpture as an answer to the Love of God in the light of John Paul II
Abstract
Saint John Paul II in his letter addressed to artists made a call to those who have this special vocation towards beauty, as he conceived art as the good that saves, as “a bridge towards religious experience”, as the means that by transforming
matter allows souls to open to the sense of the eternal and that leads them to God. Art then becomes a vocation at the service of good, capable, through our sensitivity, of elevating our spirit, of enlightening our path, especially in moments of confusion and difficulty, of causing wonder and awe in our souls, and thus giving us back our desire to live and enjoy the beauty that surrounds us. All of this is what I try to capture in my work as a sculptor.
