Javi Villarroel Seoane - Unfold

Exclusive sculpture Unfold 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 shapes 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, fluidity, and transcendence are found in a single movement.

More than steel, more than art:

Javi Villarroel Seoane is a contemporary sculptor who turns his ideas into a living testament of creativity. From his studio in Bilbao, Spain, he develops sculptures with metal and design furniture, a material he masters with skill, allowing him to create diverse artistic paths.

His career includes numerous exhibitions nationwide, and his pieces are part of collections spread across several countries in Europe, the United Kingdom, and Asia, reflecting the international reach of his work.

His solid training and twenty years of experience back the technical quality of his sculptures. He holds qualifications in welding teaching, mechanical manufacturing design, industrial boiler making, artistic forging, sculpture, and hot-work sculpture. His constant drive for self-improvement led him to become a diving welder, an experience that broadened his knowledge from a unique and highly specialized perspective.
Parallel to his creative work, Javi has contributed significantly to professional training in his sector. 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.

Besides having been recognized as a distinguished artist of the Basque Country, in 2025 the Bilbao City Council acknowledged his career and entrepreneurial spirit by awarding him an Entrepreneurship Award, an honor that emphasizes 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 "Contemporary Basque Sculpture," recently published.

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