With his sculptures, he evokes highly poetic atmospheres, in which the simultaneity of nature, vulnerability and cruelty emerge: fine moss and steel lichens, the dramatic moment of a fleeing goat, a blowing wind gently on the sheets of molten metal.
Mirsad Herenda's artworks evoke poetic atmospheres, in which vulnerability and cruelty emerge. His pieces are detailed with fine moss, steel lichens as give the impression that wind is blowing gently on the metal.
Herenda's sculptures are monuments, not only because of their sometimes imposing size, but because they reflect the fragility of people through the twist of metal.
