Mentors & Influences (Looking Backward)

Willem de Kooning

De Kooning's raw, gestural, and often fragmented portrayal of the female body, charged with sexual and emotional energy, deeply influences Warren's own audacious and expressive sculptural explorations of the female form.

Matisse's sculptural work, particularly his 'Backs' series, and his engagement with the female nude through simplified, monumental forms, provides a precedent for Warren's own robust and abstracted female figures.

Sculptor, Painter

Warren has directly cited Degas's tactile wax sculptures of dancers as an inspiration for her own often unfinished-looking figures and her exploration of the female body in motion.

Alberto Giacometti

Sculptor, Painter

Giacometti's existential focus on the human figure's presence and its vulnerability, along with his expressive treatment of surfaces, provides a conceptual and formal lineage for Warren's sculptures that capture the psychological weight of the human form.

Rodin's expressive handling of the human form, his engagement with classical themes, and his willingness to leave visible traces of the sculpting process deeply resonate with Warren's own approach to materiality and emotional depth.
