AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Description of the work
Vínculos I — The Offered Heart inaugurates the Vínculos series, dedicated to exploring personal relationships and the emotional ties that connect people.
The work represents two human figures in an intimate encounter: one approaches the other, who remains seated, while both seem to share a sovereign silver heart suspended between them.
The heart constitutes the symbolic core of the composition. It represents affection freely offered, trust, and emotional generosity. Beyond romantic love, the work also evokes friendship, empathy, and the willingness to share a part of ourselves with others.
The figures, handmade in brass sheet and wire, combine stylized forms with heads built from interwoven metallic threads. This contrast between matter and void brings lightness and movement, while suggesting the complexity of each person’s inner world.
The meeting between the two figures unfolds through curved lines that guide the gaze toward the central heart. The contrast between the warm gold of the brass, the silver tone of the heart, and the dark wooden base reinforces the visual balance of the piece.
A contemporary sculpture that invites reflection on the small gestures that bring us closer to others and on the value of offering, receiving, and sharing affection.

Biography:
Artist and jeweler specializing in the creation of unique metal pieces, where material experimentation becomes a means of artistic expression.
My work stems from technical knowledge of the jewelry craft, which evolves into the exploration of broader formats, allowing me to develop my own sculptural language. Through brass and work with wire 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, in simplified shapes, contrast with the heads built from woven wire, 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 entirely by hand, in a craft process, paying close attention to detail and resulting in original and unique sculptures.
