Born in Israel in 1970 to leading Israeli artist Aarhon Messeg and famous poet Sabina Messeg, Nimrod began his creative life at a very young age sculpting in his father’s workshop. After travelling for many years all over the world Nimrod finally settled in Marbella, Spain in 1999 He made the big step of putting down roots by setting up his own business creating bespoke architectural furniture and
fittings crafted solely from wrought iron. His pieces have been in great demand since the start of Messeg Design and are evident in many of the most exclusive properties (both commercial and domestic) in and around Marbella. In the last few years, following the success of Messeg Design, Nimrod has turned his focus to his true talent and love of artistic sculpture. Nimrod uses a personally developed an artisan method of sculpting iron. He uses ancient forging techniques, welding, power hammering, the plasma torch, etc. which enable him to create textures, shapes and effects that are scarcely seen giving his sculptures a unique style and appearance. These methods permit him to take this brutal metal and transform it into something beautiful, gentle, curvaceous... even soft.
“The versatility of iron is impressive once you understand its properties and realise its capabilities”, says Nimrod. He has formed feathered birds, shapely female torsos, muscular animals and facial expressions-all of which have nothing in common with the material from which they were created. Nimrod’s sculptures are permanently on display in his workshop / gallery in Poligono Marbella, Calle Aluminio 6 Poligono Industrial La Ermita, Marbella.
