Lisbon-born sculptor David Oliveira creates delicate figurative sculptures using wire that looks as if they were sketched in the air.
"For me, to be able to 'draw' I must know and understand the object. The knowledge of the anatomy is very important, because the skin stretches and changes according to what is underneath. The structure is fixed. The challenge is to correspond the theme with the object. My works live in an ethereal world, like a memory or a dream. The theme has to respect that."
"The spectator has a very important role, because in order to see, he has to fill the empty spaces with his own memories, creating a bond with the sculpture and his own life experiences."
