About the artwork

Naidee constructs a scene by the ocean bay, depicting a creator and his creations. Cast in bronze, Naidee's tiny Iron sculptor is in the artist's signature rotound and childlike style, wearing his apron and triumphantly grasping his welder, he proudly stands before his two iron works, a feminine and masculine figure towering way above him. The grand display before the magnificence of the ocean proffers the notion of how an artist takes inspiration from the beauty of nature to construct and find meaning in his craft, and how the end product stands to be a symbol of achievement and self expression.
