Description from the seller

Description of the work

Metamorphosis — The Path forms 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 point of origin: a nucleus from which a path begins to unfold.

From this center, lines and vegetal forms 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 course, suggesting that transformation is a personal, ongoing, and individual process.

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, path, and transformation. The sphere represents what we start from; the lines and shapes that rise, the path we travel; and the butterfly, the possibility of transforming along that process.

Transformation is not a destination, but a path.

The use of thread and brass sheet metal 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.

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 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 metal pieces, where material experimentation becomes a medium of artistic expression.

My work arises from technical knowledge of the jewelry trade, which evolves toward the exploration of broader formats, allowing me to develop an own sculptural language. Through brass and work with thread and sheet metal, I create compositions that combine lightness, balance, and tension.

My work lies 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 built 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 entirely by hand, in a artisanal way, paying attention to detail and giving rise to original and unique sculptures.
