AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Description of the work:
Contemporary figurative sculpture entirely handmade in brass, belonging to the series “Encuentros”.

The work represents five figures gathered around a table, in a scene that evokes dialogue, coexistence and connection between people.

The figures are constructed using brass sheet and wire, employing deliberately schematic forms. The heads, made from interwoven wire, are one of the series’ distinctive elements and symbolize the complexity of thought, emotions and human relationships.

The circular composition reinforces the idea of meeting and shared space, placing the figures in a relationship of balance and interaction.

The piece has been crafted completely by hand, using artisanal metal forming and assembly processes. It is not a reproduction nor a piece from a cast.

Firmada a mano por el artista.

Biography:

Artist and jeweler specializing in the creation of unique metal pieces, where material experimentation becomes a medium of artistic expression.

My work arises from the technical knowledge of the jewelry craft, which evolves toward the exploration of broader formats, allowing me to develop my own sculptural language.

Through brass and working with wire 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 the heads built from wire mesh, symbolizing the complexity of thought and emotion.

Currently, I also experiment with organic shapes inspired by nature, expanding my language toward new expressive directions.

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

Seller's Story

Artist and jeweler specialized in creating unique pieces in metal, where material experimentation becomes a means of artistic expression. My work stems from the technical knowledge of the jewelry trade, which evolves toward the exploration of broader formats, allowing me to develop my own sculptural language. Through brass and work with thread and sheet metal, 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, in simplified forms, contrast with the heads built from woven threads, symbolizing the complexity of thought and emotion. Currently, I am also experimenting with organic shapes inspired by nature, expanding my language toward new expressive lines. Each piece is made entirely by hand, artisanal, paying close attention to detail and giving rise to original and unique sculptures.
