These molds are created with found objects or are the direct product of the artist’s imagination. Many of the found objects are parts of Haendel’s vast collections of old toys, tin soldiers, Americana, parts from construction sets to figurines of cartoon characters and those from antiquated molds. Haendel’s work conveys narratives and commentaries on many aspects of contemporary life. Even though one of his pieces is called, Gates to Hell, which is an attack on nuclear power as the answer to mans’ need for energy and power, his work is typically full of visual and written puns, which enables the viewer to look carefully and search out the imagery.

  • Venus (Aphrodite)
    Located in West Palm Beach, FL
    My artwork has consisted of and has evolved into many forms throughout the years while always being influenced by the culture of South Florida. To portray my inspirations into my artform, my art pieces always consist of acrylic paints, vibrant colors, textured clay surfaces, uniquely shaped canvases, and decorative stone embellishments and accents. I have painted within many genres of subject matter, use a multitude of mediums, and am inspired by an array of subject matter. My experiences, inspirations, and artistic details are what enhance and add dimension to my artwork in the forms of murals, painted canvases, artistic furniture and home décor, and 3D art forms. I have developed my artwork into collections over the years that I always aspire to further enhance and creatively grow from. What makes my artwork unique creations is the attention paid to hand-crafted and clay designed accents I use to add layers of texture to my pieces. Medium of mirrors, stones, tiles, decorative cutouts, metallic foils, and other design elements make each piece unique and one of a kind. As well, use of resin helps to solidify and finish off the surfaces of most of my pieces. I love to use art...
