Metis Atash - PUNKBUDDHA Large BALMAIN 'The Sky Is The Limit'

Description: Artist Statement My creations embody everything that I revere as a human being. The series of lacquered Buddha sculptures bathed in Swarovski Crystals, strong-minded Russian dolls and ancient skulls spiritual fiberglass Heads, revealing a clean polyurethane look and garnished with precious stones or vicious spikes, and every part of who I am as a person is about love. Love is the significance of life. It only grows by giving it, releasing it, without limits, without restriction but trust, honesty, fairness and commitment to yourself and all around you. Love is also the energy of Bali – the source of my pieces. People in Bali choose to be authentic and walk through life with a wide-open heart – always ready to give and receive. They know and understand that the mind creates the world; that what you see arises with your thoughts and if you speak and act with a confused mind, trouble will follow you as certainly as a cart follows the ox that pulls it. But if you speak with a clear mind, happiness will follow you as certainly as your own shadow in sunlight. To understand our own thinking is to understand all thinking. The mind falls in love with itself, and this amazing love affair is not just the end of war, it’s the beginning of a whole new paradigm. It creates out of a space that is so unlimited in its self-love that it doesn’t ever have to be told or proven or seen. It is its own experience. And it’s happy—in that all. Anger teaches anger. Fear results in more fear. Only accepting what is and loving each and every bit of is will lead to inner and outer peace. This is the ancient law and my inspiration for my work and my life. Pema Chödrön, one of the most significant spiritual leaders of our time once said: "When you begin to touch your heart or let your heart be touched, you begin to discover that it's bottomless, that it doesn't have any resolution, that this heart is huge, vast and limitless. You begin to discover how much warmth and gentleness is there, as well as how much space. Your world seems less solid, more roomy and spacious." This is what art is about – creating something that allows your heart to feel spacious and free; stepping into the unknown and bringing something new into existence. It is about the unbridled heart that is so free in who it was created to be that it is unstoppable. Yours truly, Metis ABOUT THE ARTIST: Metis Atash’s creations combine conceptual, minimalist, and pop art traditions. They unite pop aesthetics with deep, spiritual and sensitive meanings in today’s society in a way that is accessible to the fast-pace, modern society. Metis Atash is as dynamic as the pieces that she meticulously sketches, constructs, and brings to life. German by nationality but truly a citizen of the world, Metis’s vast global travel to places far and wide eventually lead her to the inlet of Miami. After successfully operating her own investor relations consultancy boutique in Munich, Germany, in August 2007, Metis - who graduated in political economy - turned her devotion and passion for art, design and fashion into the creation of one-of-a kind sculptures, that have come to redefine the meaning of living. Metis sculpts with various materials from fiberglass to iron, cement and wood. All her pieces are subject to a multi-step process and Metis herself is involved in each single step. All pieces are carved to reveal every detail in character, quality and craftsmanship. Dripped in thousands of Swarovski crystals Metis’s creations are married to breath taking visual. Her fierce entrepreneurial spirit and gift for business has lead to the meteoric rise of her work in visibility among design and architectural circles. Metis’s primarily intention is to create breathtaking sculptures without sacrificing artistic values. Thus her pieces are a perfect mix of traditional subjects combined with modern styles... completely unique in form yet approachable for daily use. Each piece is one-of-a-kind and provides the living space with a very distinct aura. “Spaces are like humans. The more personality they have, the stronger they are. In the way that fashion accentuates each individual’s appearance, my creations award living spaces a very unique and special charisma too. I perceive my art as Haute Couture. The creations are not committed to a special style and taste, but rather showcase a breathtaking mix of trends that mark our past, current and future period”.
