Nimrod began his creative life at a very young age sculpting in his

father’s workshop. After travelling around the world for many years

Nimrod finally settled in Marbella, Spain in 1999, setting up his own

workshop and gallery. It was here where he began to develop his

personal and direct method for sculpting. To date, his unique

sculptures are greatly sought after by leading international

galleries.

His craft involves working artistically solely from wrought iron. One

of a kind sculptures are created using over one thousand individual

pieces of metal. Ancient forging techniques are employed, welding,

power hammering, plasma torch – all enabling the creation of

textures, effects and shapes, rendering his sculptures highly unique

in style and appearance.

These working methods permit a complete transformation of

brutal, base metal into something beautiful, gentle, light,

curvaceous, even soft. The evolution of Nimrod’s work is held by a

landscape of forms, from organic natural shapes, to delicate or

muscular animals and expressive faces. Yet long lasting focus and

passion is found in the creation of his hugely popular graceful,

sensual, majestic, often ethereal female torsos.
