IMPORTANT: This sculpture is part of my fifth and final stage of artistic evolution. I will focus on developing this concept as a signature of my identity; I will now explain its concept. It is a collector's sculpture whose value will multiply over time. I have been in the art world for ten years now, living from it and continuing to grow year after year, not only with my sculptures but also through exhibitions and awards. The culmination of all these years has led to this final stage.

Concept:
The Duality collection arises from a reflection on one of the universal pillars of philosophical thought: the need to find balance between opposites to achieve fullness. Inspired by Aristotelian ethics, which places virtue at the midpoint between excess and deficiency, I wanted to translate this timeless principle into a sculptural language that dialogues with the very material of steel.

In my pieces, rigid steel and wrinkled steel represent extremes that, individually, seem incomplete, but their coexistence creates a visual and conceptual balance that expresses the harmony I seek to convey. These material dualities symbolize the constant tension between firmness and fragility, order and chaos, stability and movement, building a poetics of balance.

Duality does not aim to provide answers or dictate paths, but rather to invite the viewer to contemplate how the simultaneous presence of opposites can evoke a deeper sense of balance and fullness. Through this collection, I wish to share the idea that only when we seek balance in every aspect of our lives can we aspire to a full and conscious existence. Each sculpture itself is a space where the viewer can recognize themselves and reflect on their own quest for balance.

This collection represents my personal vision of art and life: a continuous search for balance, where the dialogue between extremes gives meaning and creates space for individual reflection.
