Tree sculptures

 


 






Biography:

Omer Huremovic was born in Bosanska Gradiska, Bosnia and Herzegovina. In 1992 Omer and his family immigrated to Germany; then, five years later, they arrived in St. Louis.
 
Explaining the inspiration for his artistic creations that resonate deeply with viewers, Omer says, “My work bears shadows of my past. Experiences in my native Bosnia and Herzegovina––a country plagued by war and destruction––sparked my desire to give shape to the wonders of nature.”

Artist’s Statement

“My work bears shadows of my past. Experiences formed in my native Bosnia and Herzegovina –– a country plagued by war and destruction –– sparked my desire to give shape to the wonders of nature.

My fascination with trees became the overriding inspiration and key component in my visual vocabulary. In my trees –– made of different gauges of electrical copper wire and aluminum welding wire and rocks that I find or that are given to me –– I strive to create the sensual, delicate yet strong, dynamic curves that mirror nature’s bountiful manifestations.

In the past year, I have increased my focus on wall sculptures and home accessories such as clocks and vases. These pieces –– made of scrap steel, aluminum and copper and often containing a high gloss –– provide an even greater opportunity for truly artful living. Perhaps I have been more and more drawn to create them as I have come to feel more and more at home in the United States. Like all my work, they draw in and reflect a changing light, creating shadows and encouraging contemplation of the contrasts that surround us.”
