AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Description of the work:
Metamorphosis I – Origin
Contemporary figurative sculpture in brass made entirely by hand.

It is part of the series "Metamorphosis", a collection that explores processes of transformation, growth, and evolution through the relationship between the human figure and the elements of nature.

The work represents the initial moment of every transformation: the origin. An interlaced sphere, symbol of potential energy, thought, and creation, supports an organic composition of flowers and butterflies that evoke the birth of new possibilities. The human figure appears integrated into this environment as an expression of the connection between nature, consciousness, and change.

The open forms and the handmade work in metal create a light and dynamic structure that combines balance, movement, and delicacy.

Biography:

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

My work arises from the technical knowledge of the jewelry trade, which evolves into the exploration of broader formats, allowing me to develop my own sculptural language. Through brass and working 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 bonds, and the invisible structures that connect people. The figures, with simplified forms, contrast with heads constructed through 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 attention to detail and giving rise to original and unique sculptures.

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