Description from the seller

Description of the work:

Interior Universes II — Transformation

Contemporary figurative sculpture in brass, entirely handcrafted.

Unique piece belonging to the series “Interior Universes,” a set of works in which the artist explores the inner world of the human being, the complexity of thought, and the processes of change and personal evolution.

The sculpture represents a human figure seated on a spherical structure built from a lattice of metal thread. Beside it appears a butterfly, a symbolic element traditionally associated with transformation, evolution, and change.

The sphere represents the figure’s inner universe: a space constructed from multiple lines, connections and tensions, as a metaphor for the thoughts, emotions and experiences that shape our identity.

The butterfly introduces the concept of transformation and establishes a link between the inner world and the exterior. The figure seems to be in a moment of transition, in that instant when something inside us begins to change.

The contrast between the human figure, the geometric structure of the sphere and the organic form of the butterfly creates a composition that blends matter and void, balance and movement, structure and lightness.

The work is handmade using brass, sheet metal and thread, employing manual shaping, modeling and assembly processes.

Each piece is built individually by the artist, without the use of molds or casting processes, so it is an original and unique work.

Biography:

Artist and jeweler specializing in the creation of unique metal pieces, where material experimentation becomes a means 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 work with thread 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 heads built from latticework of thread, symbolizing the complexity of thought and emotion.

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

Each piece is made completely by hand, in a craft process, paying close attention to detail and giving rise to original and unique sculptures.
