Next Hand Design

My name is Alexandru Poteca, a Romanian artist, working in the field of sculpture, installation, painting and design. During the studies in India I was inspired by the unique nature of Santiniketan to apply layers of flowers and foliage on my sculpture and later developed into the branded technique of vegetal coating. The technique involves collating natural leaves and flower petals strategically combined with golden and copper leaf on common objects. The visual qualities of these objects resulted from the chromatic richness of the plant world associated with the elegance of gold or the warm embrace of copper, are even further enhanced by their unique texture and intensified by the geometry of nature.
