Oceanic Art at the San Antonio Museum of Art.

“What I am looking for in ancient culture is to understand how and why this type of aesthetic arose, one that is completely mystical and at the same time religious, sensual yet human…there is such emotion in it . . .” - Igor Mitoraj


Mitoraj, a contemporary artist, is inspired by the emotional power of ancient Greek sculpture. Primitive art has the same effect on me and Mitoraj's quote accurately conveys my feelings.  These carvings are a few of my favorites from the San Antonio Museum of Art.
