Nimrod began his creative life at a very young age sculpting in his
father’s workshop. After travelling around the world for many years
Nimrod finally settled in Marbella, Spain in 1999, setting up his own
workshop and gallery. It was here where he began to develop his
personal and direct method for sculpting. To date, his unique
sculptures are greatly sought after by leading international
galleries.
His craft involves working artistically solely from wrought iron. One
of a kind sculptures are created using over one thousand individual
pieces of metal. Ancient forging techniques are employed, welding,
power hammering, plasma torch – all enabling the creation of
textures, effects and shapes, rendering his sculptures highly unique
in style and appearance.
These working methods permit a complete transformation of
brutal, base metal into something beautiful, gentle, light,
curvaceous, even soft. The evolution of Nimrod’s work is held by a
landscape of forms, from organic natural shapes, to delicate or
muscular animals and expressive faces. Yet long lasting focus and
passion is found in the creation of his hugely popular graceful,
sensual, majestic, often ethereal female torsos.
