AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
The sculptor Javi Villarroel Seoane reinterprets in this work the goddess Aphrodite, timeless symbol of beauty, love, and harmony, guiding her into a deep dialogue between the classical and the contemporary.
Her complex fabrication does not go unnoticed: the sculpture is built from dozens of pieces with labyrinthine shapes, assembled with precision and crafted individually, revealing a meticulous and deeply artisanal process.
The play of light and shadow becomes an essential element of the piece: it not only emphasizes the volumes, but also brings dynamism where perception changes according to angle and light intensity.
Beyond its visual impact, the work invites reflection on the fragmentation of beauty in contemporary times: a reconstructed Aphrodite from multiple perspectives, suggesting that perfection does not reside in classical unity, but in the complexity and diversity of its parts.
Technical data:
Material: Steel
Finish: Black and silver
Dimensions: 60x39x14
Hooks for installation included

More than steel, more than art:
Javi Villarroel Seoane develops his work across different sculptural strands and furniture design, finding in surreal figurative sculpture the deepest expression of his creative identity. From this vision he builds a unique universe where technical precision and artistic sensitivity converge to transform steel into pieces of great expressiveness, balance, and sophistication.
His bond with metal has been forged over more than twenty years, spanning from mechanical fabrication design to underwater welding, among many other things, allowing him to push the metal to complex physical limits.
This artistic language has quickly positioned him as one of the Spanish sculptors with the greatest international projection.
His work is part of private collections in twenty countries across Europe, the United Kingdom, and Asia. He has shared auctions with major figures in art history such as Pablo Picasso and Joan Miró, and his work has been featured in specialized publications like Ars Magazine and international art platforms such as The Edge of Humanity Magazine. Additionally, his inclusion in the collective reference book "Euskal Eskultura Gaur II" confirmed his status as one of the renovators of the vanguard of contemporary Basque sculpture.
His exhibition career includes numerous national shows, including the select collective exhibition "20 eskultore", held at the institutional headquarters of the Juntas Generales de Bizkaia (Bilbao, Bizkaia), and the exhibition "Apoteosis del Ser Humano", sponsored by the BK ETL Global fiscal group, held at the Grand Hyatt La Manga Club luxury hotel, Cartagena (Murcia).
His work has been recognized with an entrepreneurship award granted by the Bilbao City Council, in the presence of the mayor Juan Mari Aburtu.
His technical prowess is unquestionable; his language, unmistakable.
