A Virtual Sculpture for the Feeling of Living (Bios-Art)

Abstract

This research, titled Virtual Sculpture and the Sense of Living 
(Bios-Art), is a qualitative study employing a practice-led research 
methodology in visual arts. The objectives are threefold: (1) to present 
conceptual ideas that emphasize the values of love, warmth, and 
humanity's inherent essence in living a balanced life; (2) to develop a 
creative process in sculptural practice that effectively integrates with these concepts; and (3) to communicate and share artistic outputs for the 
advancement of knowledge among students, scholars, and the general 
public. The research process was conducted in three phases: (1) study and investigation, (2) analysis and conceptual sketching, and (3) creative 
production of sculptural works, followed by exhibition and publication.
The findings indicate that the resulting sculptures effectively 
convey emotions, conceptual ideas, and formal qualities, while 
demonstrating a coherent integration of artistic techniques and methods that align with the overarching theme of human balance. The creative 
process demonstrated a systematic development of ideas, informed by imagination, theoretical frameworks, and principles of visual art, contributing to the advancement of knowledge in sculptural practice. The study 
produced five sculptural works under the Bios-Art theme, which explore contemporary life in the context of technological development. Although the works recognize the importance of technology, they emphasize the 
necessity of its measured use to maintain harmony with human nature. The works were selected for a national rotating exhibition at the National Gallery, National Museum, in March 2026, and the research article has been 
published in a peer-reviewed national academic journal.
