When you are a young artist, you want to have everything, but you don't realize that having everything is having less. For example, when you are doing sculpture, you have all the tools in front of you, and only when you use only one of them do you feel that you are moving toward a true sense of sculpting. The same thing happens with ideas. There is a time when you want everything, to be both abstract and figurative, to handle stillness, movement, expression, non- expression and to also take control of the world. But, as time goes by, you realize that the true positive sensation of art is resignation and limitation.
Monumental sculpture has a clear struggle with the outside world.
It has to exist, impose itself in the place. For that reason, many artists who are great sculptors and who do not have the sense of monumentality fade away when they deal with urban space. The works of many great sculptors have to be in an interior to have the adequate space. Sculpture should have an internal idea and should conquer exterior space, which are two completely different things. When you make a monumental sculpture, you need to be aware of the sense of what is monumental, and that is very difficult.
