Canduela - Convex spaces 21

The convex spaces series is made of welded and painted steel, mounted on a stone base.
The sculptures in this series play with individual convex pieces that, when assembled, create a unique sculptural space. The interplay of rotations, displacements, and assembly generates a complex form with a wide variety of viewpoints, full of nuances and hidden corners.
This collection of sculptures is presented in series of 10 unique units, numbered and signed by the author.
The vibrant colors of the sculptures evoke contemporary architecture, industrial manufacturing, and avant-garde design, all while maintaining a sculptural perspective. The challenge these pieces aim to achieve is to combine all these visions without distorting any of them.
