In my terracotta and bronze works, I look for the meeting point of material, form and story. Character, atmosphere and the hand-shaped surface all play an important role in my sculptures.
about
In my terracotta and bronze works, I start from the natural strength of the material. During the modelling process, I am not only looking for form, but also for character, atmosphere and story. It is important to me that the finished sculpture is not just an object, but has a presence: that it carries something of the person, memory or idea from which it was born.
“In portrait sculpture, a special kind of connection is formed between the sculptor and the person being modelled.”
Gábor Gódor

A bust exhibited in the palace wing of Regéc Castle, aiming for a dynamic and lifelike portrayal.

artistic approach
A portrait is more than resemblance: a dialogue forms between the sculptor and the person being modelled.
The choice of material is a conscious decision in every work: terracotta gives a more direct and natural effect, while bronze creates a more lasting and ceremonial presence. The goal is always for the material to strengthen the message of the sculpture.
Every sculpture must carry something of the soul: character, gesture and proportion speak together.
