About

Fred Born (b. 1986) is a self-taught Estonian sculptor and painter based in Tallinn, whose professional practice commenced in 2019.
His evocative work navigates the profound complexities of existence through two distinct yet interconnected mediums.

Born's sculptures, crafted from synthetic clay and resins, present humanoid figures undergoing dramatic metamorphosis, challenging conventional gender identities, and delving into the depths of existential inquiry.

Complementing these are his striking 3D textured abstract paintings, which find their inspiration in the microscopic worlds of organic and chemical transformations, from vibrant biological processes to ancient geological forms. These paintings are brought to life through a meticulous application of synthetic clay, resins and fibers.
