Born in 1939, Dieter Finke is a veteran of the Berlin art scene. Finke's credo is reduction to the essentials. The artist's aim is not the animal itself, but the image of its essence. With intelligent abstraction, he reduces the shape of an animal to its original form, to a timeless pictorial symbol. When modelling, he uses unusual materials such as wood and cardboard, a particular challenge for the bronze caster. But the effort is worth it: the filigree original form takes on a special expressiveness in the precious metal.sculpture in fine bronze, cast using the lost wax technique.

Dieter Finke (born 1939 in Berlin), a graduate of the Academy of Fine Arts in Berlin and a master student of Paul Dierckes and Renée Sintenis, never fails to inspire the art world with his work.

Finke, a graduate of the Hochschule für Bildende Künste in Berlin and master student of Paul Dierkes and Renée Sintenis, understood like no other how to visualise the spirit that animates the outer shell; he lends his sculpture drama and expressiveness. The play of candlelight and open fire gives Finke's creation a magical vitality: is the spirit of the shaman returning from his flight over primeval landscapes? The flight of his soul into the supernatural spirit world gives him the power to banish evil spirits or to tune good spirits favourably for people. Since time immemorial, shamans have used drumming and self-hypnosis to put themselves into an ecstatic trance and send their subconscious on a magical journey to heaven. The religious roots of shamanism and the healing powers of medicine men can be traced back to the Stone Age.

The 'Tree of Life' by Fuchs and Askew It was a request to Ernst Fuchs that triggered the creation of the 'Tree of Life': Originally, the sculpture was to serve as an award for people all over the world who have rendered outstanding services to the preservation of forest areas. When the first sketches were finally completed, the client cancelled his commission. Fuchs decided to complete the artwork anyway and asked Askew to help him realise it. In the end, so many joint ideas flowed into the sculpture that it is now considered a joint work. The 'Tree of Life' combines ecological ideas with the mythological-fantastic motifs so typical of both artists. The primal symbol of fertility and abundance of life already appears in ancient oriental art and pervades art history throughout antiquity. It is even a frequently appearing motif in Indian art. As a symbol celebrating life (and in the Christian interpretation since the Middle Ages also: the resurrection), it has fascinated artists of all times - even modern ones, just think of Klimt's famous realisation in the Stoclet frieze. Fuchs and Askew remain figurative and concrete in their Tree of Life: a female torso grows out of the trunk as a symbol of the maternal, life-giving, surrounded by rich foliage.ars mundi exclusive edition in three versions: Version made of fine bronze, cast using the lost wax technique, with an antique green patina and partially polished.
