David Sywalski has worked in the studios of two of North America’s notable sculptors, Don Meserve and Albert Paley. While he has greatly benefited from this experience he has also managed to maintain his intellectual and aesthetic integrity. He brings to his stone carving a very fresh perspective; that of an analytic mind with the authenticity of a scientific investigation. His forms resonate with an originality of purpose and respect for the materiality of the stone he carves. He also recognizes the necessity of perfection in craftsmanship. His devotion to aesthetics and inordinately committed work ethic ensure that every object he fashions is a gem of beauty and integrity regardless of scale. Even his small works are rigorous and monumental in concept. He is, in short, one of the finest sculptors of my acquaintance. http://www.davidsywalski.com/
