Jon DeCelles started to sculpt on little stones with a simple steak knife. He loved sculpting faces and was so passionate by his art that he took sculpture courses, which led to his recognition by experts. After twenty years of sculpting, Jon DeCelles’ found that the realistic faces he loved to depict were now evolving into abstract ones – the artist now sculpts monumental abstract pieces, as well as miniatures barely measuring an inch. He uses soapstone, alabaster, marble and granite and selects each stone himself. For Maternity, Jon DeCelles was inspired by the birth of his sons and the softness and the comfort of a mother's arm can provide a child. Both the mother and the child have their eyes closed, as if frozen in this moment of blissful eternity. His sculptures are full of tenderness and sensuality and incite a sense of calming and contemplative atmosphere.
