AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Cubes in Balance

This sculpture explores the balance between stability and movement. The cubes appear to float in space, creating a sense of tension and harmony at the same time.
The work invites reflection on how we seek balance in our lives, even when everything around us is constantly changing.

This unique sculpture continues the evolution of previous works while maintaining its own distinct identity. The composition has been enriched with additional elements and a renewed structural arrangement, generating a different sense of movement, balance, and dynamism.
Compared to earlier pieces, it introduces subtle variations in scale and component placement, transforming the overall structure in a refined yet expressive way. Each sculpture is unique and reflects an ongoing evolution within the same artistic language.

This sculpture marks a new direction in my artistic practice, where brutalist aesthetics meet the expressive energy of Pop Art.
While deeply rooted in material honesty and the strength of Brutalism, the work introduces a contemporary visual language that is bold, provocative, and emotionally charged.

Dimensions: 36 × 41 × 16 cm
Material: Iron
Finish: Dark green and yellow color combination

Artist Information

Education: Self-taught artist.
Exhibitions: I develop my artistic practice independently.
Awards: I have not received official awards.
Residencies: I have not participated in artistic residencies.

My work focuses on creating unique pieces situated between sculpture and functional object, with a strong emphasis on materiality, structure, and durability. I create sculptural furniture in concrete and iron, combining function with sculptural form, strongly influenced by Brutalism. My practice explores geometry, structure, and material presence, creating works that investigate balance, repetition, and visual impact within space.

Packaging and Shipping

The artwork will be carefully packaged using appropriate protective materials to ensure safe transportation.

Respect for the artist’s work and for the platform helps maintain a fair and meaningful experience for both buyers and sellers

Certificate of Authenticity

The sculpture will be shipped with a signed certificate of authenticity issued by the artist.

Seller's Story

Wallavibe – D.B is an independent sculptural workshop where brutalism, geometry, and industrial memory are transformed into contemporary functional art. I grew up in an environment where concrete walls were thicker than words, and objects were created not for beauty, but for durability. The images of my childhood — grey housing blocks, massive furniture, rough surfaces, iron, wood, and concrete — left a deep mark on the way I think and create. It was a world where form always followed function, and aesthetics emerged from necessity rather than excess. These memories and experiences became the foundation of my work. The brutalist tables and sculptures I create today are both a direct response to that past and a dialogue with the present. I am inspired by monumentality, weight, exposed structure, and honest materials. I do not try to hide or soften them; instead, I allow them to speak for themselves. My works are an act of resistance against fast consumption. They are not created for temporary trends or seasonal tastes, but for permanence. These are objects that demand presence, time, and a relationship with the person who lives with them. They are made not to be replaced, but to remain — to age together with the space and the individual. Each piece exists at the boundary between furniture and sculpture, between function and silence. They are solid objects — sometimes uncomfortable, sometimes provocative — inviting the viewer to pause and feel the weight, texture, and history of the material. My work explores the relationship between memory, matter, and permanence in an increasingly accelerated world.
