"A work of art reveals itself to each only in proportion to the value of his own mind,
not that of the artist."
Arthur Schopenhauer
About the artist
« I feel free among my works, because I can be exposed personally without being exposed. I deposit in my works what is sometimes too heavy to carry; I breathe into it pieces of my life and make them my allies. »
It is with modesty that the artist expresses himself and it is through his work that he best expresses himself.
Artistic expression is his preferred means of communication and art is the language that binds him to others to open the exchange, the sharing of a moment of truth, of an emotion.
Fascinated by the beauty and richness of the human bond, Jean Uroz seeks to restore its full dimension in his work, paying homage to it in particular through works that he wants to be aesthetically appealing and visually harmonious. This resolute, intentional and primordial quest for beauty is the common thread of all his creation, both in his paintings and in his sculptures.
