Jacobus Sieberhagen

Jaco Johannes Sieberhagen (born 25 January 1961) is a South African sculptor. He usually creates sculptures of people and animals using wood, metal, and glass. His metal figures are almost always depicted in a silhouette style, using laser-cutting techniques. The wood in his sculptures is usually found and collected driftwood. He describes the scenes he creates as "landscapes of the mind". Quotes Art makes the blind man see For too many people life has become so difficult and challenging that they tend to focus on the negatives and problems. Eventually a sculpture is only a visual expression of what one wants to communicate. One’s specific style and material are the vehicle that carries the story. You don't have to be like anybody else. As soon as you embrace your own story, even if it's a bad story, or a difficult story, or a strange story, and except that you are unique, then rather look for your own unique eye and your own unique expression and you own unique sensitivity.
