Description from the seller
Description of the work
Metamorphosis IV – Liberation is part of the series “Metamorphosis,” a collection of contemporary sculpture that explores processes of transformation, growth, and evolution through the relationship between nature, movement, and the human figure.
In this work, transformation is represented by an ascending composition that rises from a woven sphere at the base. From this core, delicate brass lines unfold upward and intertwine, giving rise to a set of open flowers.
The butterfly, located at the top of the composition, introduces the central element of the work: the idea of release and transformation. Its presence symbolizes the passage from a prior form to a new stage, becoming the culmination point of the sculpture’s upward movement.
The thread sphere represents the origin, the core, and the contained energy. From it, the lines expand freely into space, creating an open and dynamic composition in which matter, nature, and movement establish a continuous dialogue.
The flowers are individually constructed using worked and hand-modelled brass sheets, while the linear and woven elements add lightness and transparency to the composition.
The contrast between the open structure of the whole and the density of the lower sphere creates a sense of balance between origin and transformation, matter and movement, containment and freedom.
The work is made entirely by hand, using techniques typical of metal craft. Each element has been produced and assembled individually, so there may be small variations and traces inherent to the manual process.
One-of-a-kind piece. It is not cast nor a reproduction.
Hand-signed by the artist.

These images represent possible exhibition contexts and do not correspond to photographs of the work installed physically in those spaces.
Biography:
Artist and jeweler specializing in creating unique pieces in metal, where material experimentation becomes a vehicle for artistic expression.
My work arises from 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 work with thread and sheet metal, I create compositions that combine lightness, balance, and tension.
My work is situated 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 heads built from woven 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 entirely by hand, in a craft-based manner, paying close attention to detail and giving rise to original and unique sculptures.
