Biography

Since the late 1990s, DC Belony has used a varied practice of sculpture and design to explore the complex relation between art, life and death.
Explaining: “Conceptualizing and deconceptualizing means moving from a concept to its reification (embodied concept)
The most important thing in my eyes, is the ability of amazement, an emotion which goes directly to the soul, I call upon people's perceptiveness.
I love to combine or perfect feminine and masculine polarity, my creations have a concept (beauty and provocation) a striking physiognomy.
My sculptures have a manufactured appearance; however, I do not believe in perfection, which is inaccessible, but always feel a moral commitment towards onlookers, to allow them to participate in the abstraction for as long as possible.
I do not want them to be distracted by something that is not pertinent, such as a defect. What I strive for, is for my work to direct onlookers towards a celebration of themselves… to put them in touch with the very essence of their own potential.
Art can be life-changing and expand your horizons. It can bring a feeling of immensity to life.
This is one of the things that my artistic creations try to help people understand".
