Weiblich

The title of this sculpture is "Feminine." It depicts a stylized female torso with a head, lightly suggested arms, and legs angled diagonally. The form naturally emerged from the curved piece of wood. The artist only needed to follow the tree's natural growth pattern.

Breasts, waist, and hips are seamlessly worked into the contour. It almost appears as if the female figure is either rising or lingering in a seductive pose. The upright head observes its surroundings. It is polished, standing out from the rest of the figure, which has a coarser surface texture from the shoulders downward. The untreated carving texture gives the impression of clothing.

Thanks to the inherent form and structure of the raw material, it is a pleasure for Daniel Bucur to depict human figures. This fascination is palpable in numerous exhibitions by the sculptor. The artist enjoys the freedom to shape physical characteristics outside the norm with his tools, infusing tension into his figures.

Welle

This sculpture depicts two sides of the same person. On one side, the person is very straightforward. They know exactly what they want, communicate directly, and reach their goals. On the other side, they are not always resolute; their desires ebb and flow, they see the shore but do not draw nearer to it. It is not by chance that the sculpture is named "Wave."

The artist created the sculpture from a large block, and it stands life-sized before the viewer. On the side facing the viewer, the waves were intricately carved. On the left, the surface is almost still, while on the right, the waves are rolling. The surface has been tinted red, giving the artwork intense liveliness.

This is one of Daniel Bucur's favorite sculptures; the wave symbolizes the two sides of his creative power: one clear and direct, the other indecisive. It is a very personal testament of the artist, reflecting a contemplative perspective on his life.

Freundschaft

Friendship is an abstract concept. It requires a considerable amount of imagination to represent such words in visual art. How does Daniel Bucur approach this? He thinks about what he personally associates with friendship. From emotions like feeling connected, being in the midst of life, and a sense of permanence, the image of friendship gradually takes shape. It's a philosophical process of introspection that precedes the creation of each new artwork.

The basic structure here is a solid oak log that somewhat resembles a sail. The rough surface of the outer contour was created by the artist with a chainsaw. The lower end is smooth, the upper end is frayed. Birth and death. Light and shadow. Everything that is a part of friendship as well. The piece gains weight through the red staining, the color of blood. Daniel Bucur has thus succeeded in abstracting a very complex concept to its essence.

In the center of the sculpture, Bucur has crafted two intertwined, delicate hands. This section was finely polished. It is bright, and you can see through and reach through it.

Friendship in the midst of life. An abstract but still fitting metaphor.

Fenster

Daniel Bucur's grandfather had a small cottage in the Romanian mountains. The artist spent carefree days there during his childhood. It was an old cottage, and its windows had a pink saw blade in the center for protection. These windows have left a strong impression on Daniel Bucur's memory. The saw blade provided a deeper sense of security that allowed him to sleep well at the end of the day.

In this sculpture, the artist used a block of maple wood and carved a stylized window and door into it using a saw blade motif. The surrounding wood has been exposed and sandblasted, creating a surface reminiscent of clay. The wall is symbolized by the untreated portions.

As part of his artistic journey, Daniel Bucur has taken a trip back to his childhood with this sculpture. The artwork aims to convey to the viewer the feeling of security and comfort that he associates with his stays at his grandfather's place.
