“In my work I persuade people to feel like a flower or a tree, for instance. This cleanses and soothes the soul as if feeling the ground under your feet.
Bronze, my main material, gives a feeling of eternity.
Also when contemplating a piece, each time you will see a different work depending on your state.
The magic is that when you look at the work, you see yourself.
The integrity of a person is rooted in identity with fauna and flora. Only this triple union is doomed to life. The sweeping dominance of man is fraught with consequences.”

Terzo also works with collectors but most prefer to remain private.
Process: Terzo has developed a unique process that transforms plants into bronze. Since there are no two identical plants in nature, all his works are unique.
There are no stamps or moulds.
Terzo is motivated to remind people of their essence, as part of the world rather than dominant over it. By depicting a person in the form of a tree or combined with plants he would like to stimulate feelings and thoughts of earthly integrity, of how humankind and the world are connected.
