Javi Villarroel Seoane - Emanate

Exclusive sculpture Emanate 1/1

The series "Breath of Matter" explores the moment when matter seems to free itself from its static condition to become movement. Through fluid forms and gestures suspended in space, the series evokes a journey of transformation: from the awakening of latent energy to its full expansion. Each sculpture represents a stage of that vital process, a breath turned into form, where balance, fluency, and transcendence come together in the same movement.

More than steel, more than art:

Javi Villarroel Seoane is a contemporary sculptor who transforms his ideas into a living testimony of creativity. From his studio in Bilbao, Spain, he develops sculptures with metal and design furniture, a material he masters with mastery and that allows him to create various artistic facets.

His career includes numerous exhibitions at the national level, and his pieces are part of collections spread across several European countries, the United Kingdom, and Asia, reflecting the international reach of his work.

His solid training and twenty years of experience support the technical quality of his sculptures. He holds qualifications in welding teaching, mechanical manufacturing design, industrial boilermaking, artistic forging, sculpture, and hot sculpture. His constant drive for improvement led him to become a diving welder, an experience that broadened his knowledge from a unique and highly specialized perspective.

Alongside his creative work, Javi has significantly contributed to professional training in his field. He has taught hundreds of welders through programs of the Basque Government, among others, and has taught artistic welding courses, sharing his vision, technique, and his deep respect and love for the craft and metal.

In addition to being recognized as a distinguished artist of the Basque Country, in 2025 the Bilbao City Council recognized his career and entrepreneurial spirit by awarding him an Entrepreneurship Award, an honor that values his commitment to art and his contribution to the cultural and educational landscape of the city. His work is featured in the second volume of "The Contemporary Basque Sculpture," recently published.

With a firm vocation and ongoing artistic research, Javi continues shaping a singular path that transcends borders and positions him as an essential figure in contemporary metal-based art.
