AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Description of the work
Contemporary figurative sculpture in brass, entirely handmade.
“Encuentros III – Diálogos” belongs to the series “Encuentros,” a set of sculptures in which the artist explores human relationships, communication and the bonds established between people.
The work depicts six figures gathered in three small groups around tables, creating different spaces for meeting and communication. Each group seems to develop its own dialogue, while at the same time forming part of a collective composition.
The figures are constructed in a schematic way using brass sheet and metallic thread elements, giving special prominence to the heads, made from interwoven threads. These open structures contrast with the brass bodies and symbolically represent the complexity of thought, emotions and everything that happens inside each individual.
The arrangement of the figures creates an apparently everyday scene, but translated into a contemporary, essential sculptural language. The tables act as points of connection: places where people meet, share, listen and establish bonds.
“Diálogos” refers both to the conversation among the figures and to the invisible exchange of ideas, emotions and experiences that occurs in any human encounter.
The artisanal character of the piece is fundamental. The brass sheet has been cut, formed and worked manually, while the thread elements have been molded and assembled one by one. The construction of the figures requires meticulous work of balance, proportion and soldering/assembly.
The result is a visually light composition, but rich in detail, where the metal acquires a narrative and human dimension.
Unique piece, not cast or reproduced.
Sculpture placed on a wooden plinth with a walnut varnish finish.
Hand-signed by the artist.
It will be delivered with a certificate of authenticity signed by the artist.

Biography:
Artist and goldsmith 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 craft of jewelry, 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 bonds and the invisible structures that connect people. The figures, in simplified forms, contrast with the heads constructed from interwoven thread, 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 completely by hand, in a artisanal way, paying attention to detail and resulting in original and unique sculptures.
