Javi Villarroel Seoane - Become

Exclusive sculpture Become 1/1

The series "Breath of Matter" explores the moment when matter seems to liberate itself from its static condition to become movement. Through fluid shapes and gestures suspended in space, the series evokes a journey of transformation: from the awakening of latent energy to its full expansion. Each sculpture represents a stage of that vital process, a breath transformed into form, where balance, fluidity and transcendence meet in a single motion.

More than steel, more than art:

Javi Villarroel Seoane is a contemporary sculptor who transforms his ideas into a living testimony of creativity. From his studio in Bilbao, Spain, he develops sculptures with metal and designer furniture, a material he masters with mastery and that allows him to create diverse artistic avenues.

His career includes numerous national exhibitions, and his pieces are part of collections spread across several European countries, the United Kingdom and Asia, reflecting the international reach of his work.

His solid training and 20 years of experience support the technical quality of his sculptures. He holds degrees in welding teaching, mechanical manufacturing design, industrial boilermaking, artistic forging, sculpture and hot-carved sculpture. His constant drive to improve led him to become a diver-welder, an experience that broadened his knowledge from a unique and highly specialized perspective.

Parallel to his creative work, Javi has contributed significantly to professional training in his sector. He has taught hundreds of welders through programs of the Basque Government, among others, and has delivered courses in artistic welding, sharing his vision, technique and deep respect and love for the craft and metal.

In addition to being recognized as a prominent artist of the Basque Country, in 2025 the Bilbao City Council acknowledged his career and entrepreneurial spirit by awarding him a Prize for Entrepreneurship, an honor that highlights his commitment to art and his contribution to the cultural and educational landscape of the city.
His work is featured in the second volume of "La escultura vasca contemporánea", recently published.

With a firm vocation and ongoing artistic research, Javi continues to shape a singular journey that crosses borders and positions him as an essential figure in contemporary metal-based art.
