The various formulations in the sculpture of marine mollusks in the contemporary sculpture

Nature is considered the first teacher to humans, from which the artist derives his elements and modalities to build them. Through his interaction with them, his mental perception, thoughts, and concepts grow. The artist is an integral part of nature and hence he constantly interacts with the systems of its formation and kinetic consistency, in a permanent attempt to translate them, Nature is the primary source of the artist because of its infinite number of elements. Birds, animals, insects, fish, plants and so on from which the artist derives what he wants to achieve what he wants to express his own vision with various means of performance. The creative eye can see in nature and the vast diversity of shapes and bodies that have a large degree of order and accuracy and translate them into sculptural work, Sculpture is one of the areas of expression that has been felt by man since his presence on earth. Marine life is characterized by the abundance of countless kinds of living beings, whether marine plants or animals which are represented by fish, molluscs, crustaceans, mammals and plankton. Marine organisms have unique qualities and characteristics.
 Many contemporary sculptors were inspired by the style of the formation of sculptures influenced by one of the different marine organisms such as molluscs in the change of the concept of sculptural form. Then the formulations, materials and colors changed, which gave a new thought and a different perspective, through which one can reveal another world of forms in terms of external construction and trends of movement in terms of rotation and curves and curvature of the smooth winding, Their formations can be utilized as solutions for building sculptural models by the artists' analyses, who derive their works from marine creatures, through which they can open up new artistic and visual perspectives through those artistic values of those organisms. Thus, the researcher seeks to identify the various formulations in the sculpture of marine mollusks in the contemporary sculpture.
