My work focuses on the depiction of animals. Their sight evokes in humans, in an intense way, images, memories, emotions, and associations. Animals are richly represented in every mythology. The close and contradictory relationship with animals dates back to the origins of humanity, as early humans lived in a world inhabited and shaped by animals. My intention is to transport the viewer back to the time of early humans, who created impressive works of art driven by an inner impulse. I want my animal sculptures to speak to the viewer on an emotional, instinctive level.

« Ule Ewelt tells a story, a movement, a moment; in her sculptures, the protagonist is not the anatomy but the soul, that of the bison, the mammoth, the lioness. Ule Ewelt’s work goes beyond the figurative, it goes where the feelings and the profound nature of the animals, represented in all their diversity, are born. »
