Description from the seller

Description of the work:
Contemporary figurative sculpture in brass made entirely by hand.

The composition presents several simultaneous scenes of conversation, where small groups of figures relate in the same space, suggesting dialogue, closeness, and everyday dynamism.

Unique piece

Biography:

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

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

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

Currently, I am also experimenting with organic shapes inspired by nature, broadening my language into new expressive directions.

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