About the Item
Helena III is an elegant figurative bronze sculpture by Nando Kallweit. Kallweit's work celebrates the modern human form while recognizing that our individuality is shaped by our heritage. A heritage from our parents, our neighborhood or a distant past ... in this case represented by the distinctive “Egyptian” head.
Helena III was made using a lost wax, or Cire Perdue, bronze casting technique. Nando shapes a wax model that is then submerged in ceramic. The ceramic is then placed in a furnace so that the wax melts to leave a cavity. Molten bronze is then poured into the cavity. Once cooled and hardened the ceramic is broken to retrieve the sculpture. To create the rest of the edition Nando makes a silicon mould of the first piece allowing the wax model to be recreated.
Each piece is part of an edition of 25. The edition number is engraved into the base.
Nando also hammers his mark into the bronze.
This exquisite sculpture is a masterful representation of grace and strength, meticulously crafted to evoke a sense of awe and admiration. Standing tall, the figure embodies a poised and ethereal presence, with elongated, elegant limbs that taper into a sleek form. The most striking feature is unquestionably the outstretched wings that arc majestically above the figure’s head, creating an impression of flight and liberation. These wings, detailed with precise and delicate feathering, lend a dynamic sense of movement to the piece, suggesting a being caught in a moment of transcendence. The material, likely a dark-hued metal, not only ensures durability but also imbues the sculpture with a timeless quality, its matte finish capturing the play of light and shadow in fascinating ways. The minimalist design of the body contrasts beautifully with the intricate detailing of the wings, emphasizing the harmonious blend of simplicity and complexity. Set upon a sturdy rectangular base, the sculpture commands attention, inviting viewers to contemplate themes of freedom, aspiration, and the human spirit's boundless potential. Its modern aesthetic, combined with classical elements, makes it a versatile piece that can grace a variety of settings, from contemporary art galleries to elegant home interiors. In summary, this sculpture is a testament to artistic prowess and imagination, striking a perfect balance between form and symbolism. It stands as an inspiring and evocative piece, destined to leave a lasting impression on all who behold it.

Nando Kallweit
Nando Kallweit is a German sculptor working in bronze and oak. As a young boy, he was inspired by the beauty and antiquity of a bust of Nefertiti housed in the Egyptian Museum of Berlin. After the fall of the Berlin Wall, his new-found freedoms allowed him to travel to Egypt and develop his belief in the basic strength and pride inherent in inhumanity. His sculptures seek to emphasize this through elongated forms and upright postures. He reduces the figures to simple gestures and movements creating sculptures with a wonderful interplay between the archaic and the modern; between art and design. Nando’s work has been exhibited across Europe and is held in many private collections. He has produced a number of large scale permanent installation pieces for German municipalities and museums.

Marlene III is a tall, elegant bronze sculpture of a human figure.
Nando Kallweit is a German sculptor working in bronze and oak. Kallweit carves the original piece from a piece of oak using a chainsaw. The oak marque is then used to create a cavity in clay and sand into which the bronze is poured. The resultant bronze is particularly organic and tactile. The wood grain is apparent, as are the cut marks where the chainsaw has bitten into the wood.
