AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Description of the artwork
Metamorphosis — The Path is part of the Metamorphosis series, a set of sculptures in which the artist explores transformation, growth and processes of change through the relationship between the human figure and the organic forms of nature.
The work begins with a brass-thread sphere at the base, representing a starting point: a core from which a journey begins to develop.
From this center emerge lines and vegetal shapes that rise and expand in different directions. On them appear two human figures, each located at a different point along the path. Both seem to move along their own trajectory, suggesting that transformation is a personal, ongoing process that is different for each individual.
At the top, the presence of a butterfly subtly introduces the concept of metamorphosis. Its transformation, tied to the natural cycle, becomes a symbol of change, evolution and freedom.
Thus, the composition establishes a dialogue between origin, journey and transformation. The sphere represents where we start; the lines and shapes that ascend represent the path we travel; and the butterfly, the possibility of transforming along that process.
Transformation is not a destination, but a journey.
The use of thread and brass sheet allows for a light, open structure, in which emptiness is as important as matter. The lines cross and extend, creating a sense of movement and continuous growth.
A contemporary sculpture in which nature and the human figure meet to speak of one of the most universal processes: change and evolution throughout life.

Photographs
The main images of the sculpture correspond to original photographs of the work. Some additional images show visualizations of the sculpture in different environments, created using artificial intelligence for illustrative purposes only. These images depict possible display contexts and do not correspond to photographs of the work installed physically in those spaces.
Biography:
Artist and jeweler specialized in creating unique pieces in metal, where material experimentation becomes a means of artistic expression.
My work stems 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 working 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 ties and the invisible structures that connect people. The figures, with simplified shapes, contrast with heads built from interwoven threads, symbolizing the complexity of thought and emotion.
Currently, I also experiment with organic shapes inspired by nature, expanding my language toward new expressive lines.
Each piece is made entirely by hand, in a artisanal way, paying attention to detail and giving rise to original and unique sculptures.
