Sculptor Joachim Seitfudem (Starnberg, 1987) grew up in a family of artists. His father is also a sculptor, his mother was a painter. He never wanted to pursue the artistic profession - on the contrary, he tried to distance himself from it for a long time. "But art is like a disease, you have it in you and at some point it breaks out of you." His works are very personal. In them Seitfudem processes his experiences, thoughts and adventures. After the death of his mother and a prison sentence for his involvement in a robbery and a drug crime - he developed a new sense of time, freedom and death. "In retrospect, it was only through these tragic experiences that I discovered my true potential." Joachim Seitfudem on his art "I do what I like, what I have not seen before. I do not care if others like it. The intent is that it intrigues, whether it is positive or negative.” “Recently I have been trying to explore new techniques and materials. My new sculpture 'Distance' shows my bronze techniques. It was made during the first corona pandemic, when people had to distance themselves from everything and everyone. The sculpture shows that every human being - regardless of their origin - craves closeness and touch. In essence, we all have the same desires.”
