Corné Nuham - Tamariz 1

Tamarisk of San Sebastián
Unique welded iron sculpture by Corné Nuham

Inspired by the tamarisk trees that grace the gardens of San Sebastián's City Hall, this sculpture pays tribute to one of the city's most iconic natural symbols. Its strong trunk and open, windswept branches evoke the resilience of these remarkable trees, shaped for decades by the sea breeze of the Bay of Biscay, transforming a familiar landscape into a timeless sculptural form.

Entirely handcrafted in welded iron, the piece has been created by sculptor Corné Nuham. Every weld bead remains visible as an essential part of the sculpture's visual language, revealing the making process rather than concealing it. No molds or casts are used, making each sculpture a truly unique, one-of-a-kind artwork.

Rather than simply depicting a tree, the sculpture captures its presence, energy and memory. Forged through fire and welding, the iron acquires an unexpected sense of lightness, expressing the dialogue between nature, the city and the passage of time.


All artworks are signed and come with a certificate of authenticity. The sculpture will be carefully packed for shipment.
