Joan Barrantes

Age 50 years.Born in Paris (France) in 1966. Spanish sculpteur.Sculptor, in my work I normally use the rusted steel and stone, used together or separately. My works are a reflection of human feelings, in general, viewed from an angle of Zen philosophy, trying to express the maximum with a minimum of data. When I use the two elements is usually to create a fluid dialogue between them and try to translate the concept of sense of time, of human fragilty.

My training has been self-taught, but I have attended various courses and workshops in art.Selected recent exhibitions:2011: Haikus matericos.
