ABOUT THE ARTWORK

The hand figure of this piece, which gives the appearance of greeting his viewer, represents the very hand of Miriam. In the Judeo-Sephardic tradition, the Hamsa, or hand of Miriam, is one of the symbols used as an amulet, associated with the protection of the home and the person. The terracotta color evokes the color of the complexion of the people of the Middle East, where the belief of the use of palm-shaped figures as a protection mechanism is born. In the Arab tradition, and in almost the entire Middle East, the Hamsa, represented with the image of the palm of a hand, is also known as the hand of Fatima and is used for the same purposes and purposes of protection. The author based himself on that object to develop a series of sculptures in which the Hamsa becomes the central theme.

Roberto Bear is a self-taught visual artist, who since childhood showed talent for drawing and painting. Although he is still considered as an emerging artist, his passion for sculpture began almost a decade ago; area of the plastic arts in which he has decided to focus primarily. His technique is probably unique, since no one like him has yet known how to take advantage of every plastic packaging that comes into his hands, shaping complex structures that are then covered with a personally processed paste made from paper or cardboard. The result is always surprising: robust sculptures with human forms that at the touch and sight seem more sculpted in stone or quarry. His technique has been the result of a learning process that he has perfected over the years; always having the recycling of plastic, paper and cardboard as his objective. The female figure is so far the favorite subject on which he has based most of his work, which takes advantage of masterly to address sensitive issues such as breast cancer, diabetic foot and violence against women. Currently, he continues developing sculptural projects with which he aims to raise awareness of the importance of recycling.
