Contemporary artistHakon Anton Fagerasrecalls such classical mastery in his marble sculptures of pillows.
The common denominator of most of my art is fragility and vulnerability, the artist tells My Modern Met.
I usually carve figures and faces, but once in a while, I carve marble pillows.

Fageras produces his work out of studios in both Oslo and northern Italy.
