Javi Villarroel Seoane - Aeternum

With Aeternum the intangible takes form and eternity becomes present, materializing an infinity through its endless shape, where lines flow ethereally and intertwine in a continuous cycle, with no beginning or end. If you travel its surface from the outside, you will end up inside at the same point, the same thing happening if it is traversed from the interior.

Its patina oxidized frozen through a unique artisanal solution symbolizes the interaction of time with matter, showing how the ephemeral can transform into the eternal. This controlled finish, unlike Corten steel, does not create stains, allowing the sculpture to be placed both indoors and outdoors, maintaining its timeless presence. Its exterior presence is fully viable.

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 mastery and that allows him to create diverse artistic avenues.

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

His solid training and twenty years of experience support the technical quality of his sculptures. He holds degrees in welding teaching, mechanical fabrication design, industrial boiler-making, artistic forging, sculpture and hot-carved sculpture. His constant drive for 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 significantly contributed to professional training in his sector. He has taught hundreds of welders through programs of the Basque Government, among others, and has taught courses in artistic welding, sharing his vision, technique and his deep respect and love for the craft and metal.

In addition to having been recognized as a standout 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 appears 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.
