Bronze and white, glossy and matte, smooth and rough, pure and yet sinuous lines, elegant, haughty, precious forms. These could be some of the keywords for a possible interpretation of Irma Hölzl's works.
But his sculptures are much more, they tell and represent much more.

The Artist

Irma Hölzl is a sculptor whose work emerges from an intense creative and intellectual process, followed by a physical commitment. Her works, whether naturalistic or anthropomorphic, zoomorphic or abstract, reflect a passion for creation and the need to bring a certain entity or allusion to life.

Hölzl uses materials such as iron, netting, ropes, plaster, and wax to create his sculptures, which take their final form through the master craftsman's skill. His works represent a journey of artistic growth and transformation, developing a language capable of

continuously renew itself. Hölzl weaves a dialogue with the observer without imposing a thought or slogan, always seeking balance and refinement. His artistic poetics aim to restore beauty and harmony, evoking nostalgia, memories, dreams, and reflections.

Her studio is an ordered universe, where large sculptures feel light and precious like jewels. Bronze castings, treated with subtle patinas and matte acrylic, seem to capture movement. The human or anthropomorphic figures have barely suggested garments and expressive faces, often solitary but powerful when in groups, evoking spontaneous attitudes of crowds or playful children.

Joy, a lust for life, and freedom are common sentiments in her works, such as in the grand sculptures "Dancer" and "Dancing Figure with Ribbon". The "Dancer" evokes a mythological meaning with olive branches, while the "Dancing Figure with Ribbon" shows a body that merges with the dress.

Hölzl's works reflect childhood and youth memories, rooted in a cultural and traditional background, but projected towards the future. His sculptures, such as those dedicated to Margareta Maultasch, combine historical and fantastical elements, showcasing bronze work that evokes natural materials.

In summary, Irma Hölzl's works are precious and fascinating fusions, telling complex cultural stories of her homeland, offering a dual value of present and past, rootedness and the ability to look beyond.
