Creating a contemporary art work is like a game of words put together in different stories and placed in real life as art works, from idea to technique, from technique to the final three dimensional works. I find that we can be inspired by nature, materials and in/outdoor spaces in order to provide, preserve and present artistic beauty to humans. I love working with steel as the rough, untamed material represents for me a challenge to mold its language and find the message that lies beyond these industrialized parts. I want to reveal an attitude that one can draw out of metals, feelings of liberation and empowerment offered to those that perceive my works. Sculptor Marius Ancuta

Human Rootsis one of the artist's recent works, created for the Roots Exhbition that Recreativ Art Camp organized in April 2010. It suggests the idea of human imprint, through the mirrored roots that reflect our steps, actions, beliefs- ourselves. The metal pipes that reinvent the anatomic shapes render the idea of verticallity, of purpose and meaning. Also this work opens a series of sculptures that will combine metal with organic materials: grass, cork, etc.

The purpose of Roots Exhibition was to make use of artistic mediums in order to bring into discussion issues that involve post-modern society such as globalism, consumerism, conformism or depersonalization, aspects that turn us into happy slaves and make us give up principles, traditions and faith.

The objectives of Roots exhibition were to offer a creative setting, where artists unite in order to draw the attention upon the condition of human being and offer through art, a diagnosis of nowadays society, suggesting a return to the genuine roots.

The 3i sculpture borrows its simplified title and the game of words from the virtual language, making a great play with the nowadays reality. The inspiration came from nature extracting and simplifying the idea of a tree with fruits.

The sculpture plays the artist game by making eyes as fruits and suggesting an analogy between trees and human organism. The similarity reflects in their support structure, looking beyond skin and flesh directly to skeleton and referring especially to the spinal column (back bone) which sustains and confers verticality to humans.
