About The Artwork
The name of this series, Obosom, was quoted in one of writer Robert Graves’ essays, on wich he mentioned: “Obosom was a visible manifestation of the Kra or vital force derived from the moon and enjoyed a limited part of goddess moon full power.” Under the name of Obosom some Africans tribes named certain natural world deities associated with the moon, which could be extrapolated to western culture through virgins, which inmany cases have been merged with pre-Christians beliefs linking with landscapes, lakes, rivers, mountains or natural events. Obosom series tries to condense the magnetism of religous iconographic representations, both primitives, in the sense of tribal art, and Christians, under minimalist forms in which the volume is contingent in the purity of form and framed by clearly defined lines. The sculptures reflect a female anthropomorphical component, focusing on her role of spiritual and virginal purity, turning to round and pure forms which evoke the creative or life-giving component. Ultimately this series aims to restore the “magic” aspect that gave rise the primitive sculpture and stayed for millennia, the sculpture as an evocative element of natural forces and as a collective subconscious capacitor through universal principles.

He is one of the most remarkable emerging sculptor of the new artistic scene in Spain, he has done more than 60 expos, exhibited in Spain, Portugal, France, Belgium, Germany and Holland, and won several prizes. His metallic work wanders about the idea of the sacred. He gets the inspirations from classic forms that he puts together with modernity through a simplification exercise. One can sense the influence of great contemporary sculptors such as Noguchi, Chillida, Julio González or Richard Serra. Canduela’s work, in metallic welded sheets, is an outstanding pledge on the sculptural quality, on the well-done job and on the attention of the details. The goal of his work is to condense and summarize, through abstraction, the human subconscious. He takes as an essential example the interaction between the artist and his work. The sculptures arouse a singular attraction as well as a self-presence that is almost magnetic. Roberto Canduela’s career is moving upwards. Some of his sculptures are part of private collections; some has been used as Public Work in Spain for different companies and organizations.
