Kim Simonsson is an artist who has dedicated himself to sculpting for 19 years. In 2015, he started creating mystical figures, popularly known as the “Moss People”. These sculptures are unique in their appearance, with their green color from head to toe and their intriguing personality. They are placed in isolated areas, giving them an ethereal quality.
Simonsson does not reveal much about his sculptures, leaving them open for interpretation. In an interview with DeMilked, he stated, “The making part is almost as important for me as the final product. As humans, we have developed the skills to use our hands for tens of thousands of years and to use that skill gives me fulfillment.”
Simonsson’s passion for sculpting was discovered by chance. He originally wanted to become a painter, but he was accepted into the ceramics and glass department at the Helsinki Design University. There, he realized that sculpting was more natural for him than painting.
Simonsson’s sculptures have a distinctive look that sets them apart from other sculptures. The “Moss People” are made by using a unique technique where ceramics and moss are fused together. The moss is used to create the green color and texture of the sculptures, giving them an otherworldly appearance.
Simonsson’s sculptures have been exhibited in many art galleries around the world. He has gained recognition for his unique style and has won several awards for his work. His sculptures have been collected by art enthusiasts and are highly sought after.
