Javi Villarroel Seoane - Become

Exclusive sculpture Become 1/1

The series "Breath of Matter" explores the moment when matter seems to break free 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, fluidity and transcendence meet in a single movement.

More than steel, more than art:

Javi Villarroel Seoane is a contemporary sculptor who transforms 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 expertise, allowing him to create diverse artistic avenues.

His career includes numerous exhibitions nationally, 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 20 years of experience underpin the technical quality of his sculptures. He holds degrees in welding teaching, mechanical manufacturing design, industrial boilermaking, artistic forging, sculpture and hot-carving sculpture. His constant drive for improvement led him to become a diving welder, an experience that expanded his knowledge from a unique and highly specialized perspective.

Alongside his creative work, Javi has significantly contributed to professional training in his sector. He has taught hundreds of welders through programs of the Basque Government, among others, and has given courses in artistic welding, 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 acknowledged his career and entrepreneurial spirit by awarding him an Entrepreneurship Prize, an honor that highlights 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 journey that crosses borders and positions him as an essential figure in contemporary metal-based art.
