Explanation of the work:

Metal or steel is one of the hardest and most resistant materials we have. As a master of steel, I am used to feeling its hardness and strength, and upon seeing that force represented in the essence of metal sculptures, with this new collection I want to do the opposite—something even more complex, which is to endow it with sensitivity and deceive the viewer by showing a sculpture made from hard, resistant steel that looks like silk, that appears like a sensitive and elegant piece, simple and delicate but at the same time visually powerful.

They are pieces of stainless steel finished with reliefs, with meticulous attention paid to every detail. With them I seek a more relaxed elegance and the desire to create a mental trick for the spectator, like an illusionistic trompe-l’œil.

They are forged pieces, crafted with the utmost care, in an idyllic setting, in complete harmony with steel and art. They are born with the sound of every fold, of strength and delicacy, and from there flow the notes of their movements, seemingly wrinkled and open.

I am seduced by artisanal and disruptive designs, so with these vertical, wall-mounted sculptures I focus on becoming part of a new reality, where I seek color, texture and sinuous forms. Who would say this is steel? These sculptures, with a magically wrinkled appearance, make me revere this primitive material, for it makes everything possible, without limits to creation or creativity. Even steel can look as light as silk.

The piece plays with a mirror-like effect that makes light bounce and creates spectacular light and shadow play, forming a sculpture at the forefront of contemporary art.
