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 when I see that force represented in the essence of metallic sculptures. But with this new collection I want to do the opposite, something even more challenging: to impart sensitivity and to fool the viewer by showing a sculpture made from hard, resistant steel that looks like silk, that seems a delicate and elegant piece, simple and refined, yet visually powerful.

These are stainless steel pieces finished with reliefs, with meticulous attention paid to every detail. Through them I seek a more relaxed elegance and the desire to create a deception in the viewer’s mind, like a trompe-l’œil.

They are forged pieces crafted with the utmost care, in a idyllic setting, in complete connection 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 drawn to artisanal, disruptive designs; therefore, with these vertical, wall-mounted sculptures, I aim to become 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 effect that makes light bounce and generates spectacular light and shadow games, creating a sculpture at the forefront of contemporary art.
