Title
Fernandez - Sculptor - Sculptures in stainless steel and wood
Description
An American citizen, Fernandez was born in Brazil. He began sculpting in 1976 when he learned the technique of direct metal sculpture in the studio of Joseph Correale, Sr. of Woodbridge, CT.
Direct metal sculpture is a technique for building a sculpture directly from electrodes or steel rods. It is a three-phase process. The first part consists of outlining or constructing a welded frame (skeleton). Then the sculptor welds electrodes or steel rods to fill in the skeleton (muscle).
To finalize, he may add a layer of molten steel, brass or another alloy (skin). To visualize this process click on the window labeled Fernandez' Gallery, go to Direct Metal Sculptures and then to the Steel Bird, skeleton, muscle and skin.
