ABOUT BENNY

I have worked with stonecarving on hobbybasis since 2004.

It has been an exciting journey into the world of stone art, which has given rise to challenges and great joy when the results have been satisfactory.

I hope you can share my joy - when you look around the image gallery.

It is always exciting to see what is hiding inside the stone!

You may find a stone in the field, on the shore - take it home and wash it thoroughly - turn it - and suddenly the figure appears in your "inner eye " - then the first chalk lines begin to draw the contours of the sculpture in the stone.

Hammer and chisel pulls the sculpture forward - and then the grinding process starts, which can produce the most amazing colors and patterns in the stone.

Now the stone has become a beautiful sculpture, which can be very nice to look at.

2013 I started working with sculpturs in bronce and fibercement.

2018 i attended my first sculpture course in Cararra in Italy working with marble. Take a look at this lovely video from Usama Alnassar's studio in Cararra to get inspiration VIDEO.

I am a member of an association for amateur stone sculpturs in Aalborg -Denmark, where we meet once a week and make sculptures together. If you are interested to be a member - the take a look at the information about the association Stenbiderne on facebook here
