ARTIST STATEMENT
Edgar is an abstract and figuratif artist fusing traditional and alternative techniques to express his own perception of the aesthetic and sensual. The silhouettes that Edgar sculpts and paint do not aim to produce an explicit reaction. They are bodies in dynamic states, that are alive and living, that reveal their voluptuousness without vulgarity or modesty, and simultaneously tempting yet also innocent.
