This rainbow obsidian sculpture from Mexico captures a fluid, evolving form with polished surfaces that reflect light and shadows as it rises.
Description from the seller
This abstract sculpture in black obsidian embodies a fluid and dynamic vision of movement.
It appears as an entity with organic qualities, with soft, flowing lines that convey the impression of perpetual movement.
The solid base grounds the sculpture to the ground, while the structure thins and twists into elegant spirals and curves as it rises, suggesting a continuous transformation.
The shiny, reflective surfaces of black obsidian capture and reflect light in unpredictable ways, creating plays of shadows and reflections that change with the angle and intensity of the surrounding light.
The elongated and intertwined shapes of the sculpture seem to dance almost with each other, creating a sense of harmony and simultaneous conflict.
Elements of tension and release are evident, with some sections appearing tense and compressed, while others open into wide, free curves.
This contrast evokes a sense of vitality and continuous movement, as if the sculpture is in constant evolution. The fluidity of the forms creates a perpetual dialogue between shadow and light, between static and movement.
