AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Description of the work
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 starts from a brass wire sphere at the base, representing a starting point: a core from which a journey begins to unfold.
From this center, lines and vegetal forms rise and expand in different directions. On them appear two human figures, each situated at a different point along the path. Both seem to move along their own path, suggesting that transformation is a personal, ongoing, and individualized process.
At the top, the presence of a butterfly subtly introduces the concept of metamorphosis. Its transformation, linked 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 what we start from; the lines and shapes that rise, the path we walk; and the butterfly, the possibility of transforming ourselves throughout that process.
Transformation is not a destination, but a path.
The use of thread and brass sheet allows for a light, open structure, where 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 about one of the most universal processes: change and evolution throughout life.

Some additional images show visualizations of the sculpture in different settings, created using artificial intelligence for illustrative purposes only. These images represent possible exhibition contexts and do not correspond to photographs of the work installed physically in those spaces.
Biography:
Artist and jeweler specializing in the creation of unique pieces in metal, where material experimentation becomes a means of artistic expression.
My work arises from the technical knowledge of the jewelry craft, which evolves toward exploring 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 is rooted in 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 through interwoven threads, symbolizing the complexity of thought and emotion.
Currently, I also experiment with organic forms inspired by nature, expanding my language toward new expressive lines.
Each piece is made completely by hand, in a artisanal way, paying attention to detail and giving rise to original and unique sculptures.
