What if a garden wasn't just a place to linger – but a space that touches you? Garden art can do more than decorate. It can tell stories, evoke memories, heal. When steel lines form into a feminine figure, more than an object is created – soul takes shape.
With my large-format steel sculptures, I bring femininity, lightness, and timeless elegance into gardens, parks, and public spaces. My works are not arbitrary garden decor but strong symbols: for closeness, freedom, and joy of life. Welcome to a world where garden art endures – because it touches.
Painting in Steel – The Birth of an Idea
Sometimes a great idea begins with a small doubt. Steel? Heavy. Cold. Technical. Can anything feminine even emerge from it? Yet it was precisely this challenge that fascinated me. I wanted to show: Even the hardest can be soft. Even metal can flow – if shaped with feeling.
The first sketches were made on a quiet afternoon in my studio. I drew lines that danced. Two women in a flowing style, in intimate closeness. Another, in the intoxication of spring. These motifs had power – I felt it in every fiber. But could they be translated into steel?
Then came the moment when everything fell into place: the collaboration with the company Rosenberger GmbH. With their expertise in plasma cutting and my artistic vision, a journey began that surprised even me. Lines became cuts. Drawings became forms of steel. And suddenly, there it was: the first female sculpture made of several hundred kilograms of metal – powerful yet full of feeling.
From Drawing to Plasma Cut – Steel Becomes Feminine
The creative process was fascinating – and technically challenging. Together with the engineers at Rosenberger GmbH, we planned every detail: proportions, material thicknesses, cutting angles. Millimeters turned into emotion. Every line mattered.
My designs were digitized and translated into plasma cutting files – an art in itself. Then the magic began: with steel plates up to 15 millimeters thick, the machines worked their way through the material. Sparks flew, heat hissed – and gradually, what had previously only existed in my mind emerged.
The figure "Two Sisters – Closeness" is a symbol of connection. Two female silhouettes, leaning closely together, full of trust, eyes closed. The second work, "Spring Dance," shows a dancing woman – light, lively, an epitome of joy.
Every curve, every flower, every detail was cut from solid steel. And although the material is heavy – both works appear astonishingly light. Because that's exactly what it's about for me: not to explain femininity, but to make it visible. Strong, proud, and free – even in steel.
Two Works, Two Souls – Closeness & Spring Dance
Both sculptures are made of the same material – yet they couldn't be more different. "Two Sisters – Closeness" shows two women, head to head, eyes closed. Their posture is calm, almost meditative. It is a moment of connection, of closeness without words. The deliberately untreated surface was only sandblasted – it is allowed to live, age, and develop a warm rust patina. Like a lived body, it shows traces of time, depth, change. This sculpture speaks – of trust, of quiet feminine strength.
"Spring Dance" is the opposite – or perhaps its complement. A woman, free, laughing, in motion. Her arms dance, her body seems carried by music. Black lacquered steel gives her shine and elegance. Her floral frames – cut-out blossoms in typical Moré style – enhance the lightness. She looks as if she has only stopped for a moment before continuing to spin – in the rhythm of life.
Both sculptures show two sides of the same coin: the deep, quiet power of the feminine – and its irrepressible, joyful energy. Together, they tell a story that touches. And that's exactly what makes them so special – in the garden as well as in public spaces.
Garden Art That Touches – Steel Sculptures as an Emotional Statement
There is art that one sees. And there is art that one feels. My steel sculptures belong to the second category. They are not decorative in the classical sense – they are present. Alive. Tangible.
In a garden, they unfold their full effect. Between flowers, trees, and light, they change the atmosphere – they turn a place into an experience. In public spaces too, they create something special: a silent dialogue between sculpture and observer. Without many words.
The strong presence of the material, combined with soft, flowing lines and feminine symbolism, touches heart and mind. That is what garden art means to me: not just to be beautiful, but to stir something within us.
Why Female Sculptures Transform Gardens
A garden is a mirror of our soul. It shows what is important to us – peace, beauty, life. And that is why female sculptures fit so well into this space. They bring something that goes beyond aesthetics: they radiate a power that is simultaneously soft. Gentle. And yet present.
Female figures in garden art act like silent companions. They provide support without restricting. They remind us of the essential: existence. Feeling. Growing. Their form harmonizes with nature – as if it had always been there. Flowers growing from metal. Gazes that touch from steel.
Especially for women – but also for sensitive men – such sculptures are an expression of inner values. They turn a garden into a personal place. A retreat. A small paradise with a soul.
Individual Commissions & Art in Architecture – Personal Visions in Steel
Every sculpture begins with an idea – often very quiet. A feeling. A wish. A place that deserves something special. This is where my creative process begins. I accompany clients in making their personal vision visible – with steel, form, and soul.
Whether for private gardens, representative entrance areas, corporate courtyards, or public spaces: steel sculptures are statements. They show attitude – aesthetically, thematically, emotionally. Together, we develop a work that not only fits but has an impact. It's not just about a beautiful object, but about the energy it radiates. About the story it tells. And about the feeling that remains.
In close consultation with you, a unique piece is created that reflects your values – whether feminine strength, joy of life, inner peace, or connection. Formal adaptations to my existing works or completely new compositions are possible.
Do you have a place in mind that calls for meaning? Let's create a work of art together that finds its place there – and leaves a lasting impression.
When Steel Tells Stories – Art That Endures
Femininity, nature, strength – united in steel. My garden art is more than decoration. It is a dialogue between space and soul, between aesthetics and inner movement. Whether in private gardens, public squares, or as part of architectural visions – such sculptures leave their mark.
If you feel that a special place calls for art that touches and endures, then I invite you: Let's create a work together. For your garden. For your community. For your vision.
