Silberberg is one of the foremost metal sculpture artists
today. As a self described hot-metal artist he has created
a body of large metal work that is not only unique but
also very powerful.
"I try to give my work a feeling of timelessness
and age -- like relics dug up from some ancient tomb.
The marks on their surfaces are a visual vocabulary
I have developed with stamping tools of my own design
and making. They not only decorate but directly shape
the metal. The displacement they cause serves to further
develop and enhance the sculptural form. Working with
heated steel allows me incredible freedom and spontaneity,
in both design and execution, not possible with other
methods."
