Presentation: curiosity, playfulness, innovation
Pontus is a metal and stone sculpture maker of big proportions with lots of sci-fi references. From detailed sketches with animalistic robotic character, he then approaches the hard material and then cut it with precision. The inspiration comes from a wide variety of multimedia, scenes such as movies, games and Japanese pop culture.
The sculpture idea for public areas has its roots within the modern phase and what the next generation might contribute to the society. A fiction world for you to play with and to interact with. Making monuments for the new generation.
