É - Panta rei Au 28 Sculpture

My early stage into sculpture came from my search for expressing vacuum. This led me to experiment with metal mesh until it became my means of expression, transforming and considering sculptural material. I rely on the space-light relationship, and on the shadows projected by the works themselves, which become changing compositional elements. My ethics are based on essentiality, and my aesthetics on diversity, using a highly refined technique as a link between the two. The research project I am working on, and its common thread, focuses on transformation through continuous change. Nothing remains the same; energy with constant activity destroying and creating as it confronts reality and the passage of time. The sculptures I make are lived experiences; they are part of me, of my soul. I work with an abstract concept, sculptural construction, combined with chance, with which I redirect and then decide spontaneously as to the dynamic action to take. With the Trails series I express the cycle of life and its decisions by entering a world of experiences, sensations and transformations that lead us to reconnect with the origin of our primal essence. With the Jumble series, I delve into the pain of death and the sense of loss; on the one hand, the loss of a loved one, and on the other, the loss of oneself. The É – Panta rei series combines the experience of the “Trails series” and the “Jumbles series” created in recent years, and I have chosen to experience an inner transformation made from love and freedom to value the dignity of each individual, feeling that “everything flows, nothing stops” in this vital experience of continuous change.
