AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

D.B. Sculpture – Balance Frame – L Size

Balance Frame is a unique geometric sculpture exploring the relationship between structure, weight, negative space and visual balance.

The composition combines a strong rectangular iron frame with solid concrete elements, creating a sense of tension between stability and movement. Although the sculpture weighs approximately 7 kg and has a strong physical presence, its open structure gives it a clean and minimalist character.

The contrast between raw concrete, dark iron and empty space reflects the Brutalist approach that plays a central role in my artistic practice.

Height: 54 cm
Weight: approx. 7 kg
Materials: Iron and concrete
Finish: Cold-blackened iron with protective varnish
Unique piece: 1/1

The sculpture is suitable for both indoor and outdoor spaces. Its weight and solid construction provide good stability, while the metal surface is protected with varnish.

The artwork is signed by the artist with the initials D.B. and comes with a signed Certificate of Authenticity.

Each of my works is individually conceived and handcrafted in my own workshop. Small variations in texture, surface and finish are part of the individual character of each piece.


ARTIST INFORMATION

I am a self-taught contemporary artist and sculptor based in Spain. I develop my artistic practice independently and work primarily with iron and concrete.

My work is characterised by geometric forms, structural balance, negative space, raw materials and a strong industrial and Brutalist aesthetic. My practice moves between contemporary sculpture, Brutalist design and functional art.

Brutalism occupies a central place in my artistic work. I believe this artistic language still has great unexplored potential and is often misunderstood in contemporary art and design.

One of my main goals as an artist is to bring Brutalism closer to people and to show that raw materials, strong geometry and structural forms can also be attractive, refined and suitable for contemporary living spaces.

For me, Brutalism is not only about heaviness, roughness or austerity. It can also express balance, rhythm, elegance and emotion.

It is particularly important to me that my art reaches people. I do not believe art should remain limited only to galleries or institutions. I want my works to become part of real homes and living spaces and to help a wider audience discover and appreciate the visual language of Brutalism.

I currently develop my artistic practice independently in my own workshop, outside the traditional gallery and artistic residency system.

I have not participated in formal artistic residencies or received official art awards to date. My artistic trajectory has developed independently through the creation of my work and direct contact with collectors.

My artworks have been acquired by private collectors in several European countries, including Spain, France, Germany and the Netherlands.

More than 220 of my artworks and design pieces have been sold through Catawiki, with 100% positive buyer feedback.

My original artworks are available exclusively through Catawiki.

Seller's Story

Wallavibe – D.B is an independent sculptural workshop where brutalism, geometry, and industrial memory are transformed into contemporary functional art. I grew up in an environment where concrete walls were thicker than words, and objects were created not for beauty, but for durability. The images of my childhood — grey housing blocks, massive furniture, rough surfaces, iron, wood, and concrete — left a deep mark on the way I think and create. It was a world where form always followed function, and aesthetics emerged from necessity rather than excess. These memories and experiences became the foundation of my work. The brutalist tables and sculptures I create today are both a direct response to that past and a dialogue with the present. I am inspired by monumentality, weight, exposed structure, and honest materials. I do not try to hide or soften them; instead, I allow them to speak for themselves. My works are an act of resistance against fast consumption. They are not created for temporary trends or seasonal tastes, but for permanence. These are objects that demand presence, time, and a relationship with the person who lives with them. They are made not to be replaced, but to remain — to age together with the space and the individual. Each piece exists at the boundary between furniture and sculpture, between function and silence. They are solid objects — sometimes uncomfortable, sometimes provocative — inviting the viewer to pause and feel the weight, texture, and history of the material. My work explores the relationship between memory, matter, and permanence in an increasingly accelerated world.
