AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Description of the work:

Contemporary figurative sculpture in brass, made entirely by hand.

It is part of the series “Encuentros” (Encounters), focused on representing human relationships through minimalist compositions and schematic figures.

The piece presents two chairs facing each other separated by a central form in expansion, evoking the idea of distance, emotional tension and incomunication. The open lines and the movement of the metal suggest an energy contained between the two presences.

Sculpture placed on a wooden pedestal with a walnut finish.

Unique piece, not produced by casting or reproduction.
Hand-signed by the artist.
It will be delivered with a certificate of authenticity signed by the artist.
Shipping with tracking and premium carriers Fedex - Ups - TNT etc...
Dimensions: 15 cm high x 17 cm wide x 10 cm deep
Weight: 320 g

Year: 2025
Origin: Spain
Status: Excellent

Bibliography:

Artist and jeweler specializing in creating unique pieces in metal, where material experimentation becomes a means of artistic expression.

My work arises from the technical knowledge of the jewelry craft, which evolves toward the exploration of broader formats, allowing me to develop my own sculptural language. Through brass and working with thread and sheet metal, I create compositions that combine lightness, balance and tension.

My work sits within contemporary sculpture, with a focus on human relationships, emotional bonds and the invisible structures that connect people. The figures, of simplified forms, contrast with the heads built from interwoven thread, symbolizing the complexity of thought and emotion.

Currently, I also experiment with organic shapes inspired by nature, expanding my language toward new expressive lines.

Each piece is made completely by hand, artisanal, paying careful attention to detail and giving rise to original and unique sculptures.
