Metis Atash was born on January 1, 1979 in Romania. She grew up in Munich, Germany. Today she lives between the United States and Europe. The sculptures of the German artist Metis Atash combine the aesthetics of pop art with the traditions of conceptual art, creating unique works of art with deep spiritual meanings, but which also refer to art history and fashion. After graduating in political economy and finance in 2001, Metis Atash operated her own investor relations consultancy office in Munich. But in 2006, she decided to turn her devotion and passion for art, design and fashion into the creation of oneof-a kind hand painted timeless sculptures, that have come to redefine the meaning of living. Metis sculpts in fiberglass and uses acrylic paint, automotive lacquer and Swarovski crystals to enhance her pieces. All her creations are subject to a multi-step process of clay modeling, molding, sculpting, sanding and lacquering. The objects of her work are based on the spiritual being and her sculptures are inspired by the ancient teachings of the Daoism. The word DAO translates as “path” or “way” of life. Daoist propriety and ethics focus on nature, the relationship between humanity and the cosmos, health and longevity as well as action through inaction, which is thought to produce harmony with the universe. Metis ‘s pieces are aimed to be perceived as the mirror of our eternal souls. They showcase the duality in life and the merging of our inner beings with our physical beings.
