Original artwork description:
African art has been, since its inception, one of the main references of abstract art.
This series of sculptures aims to pay homage to African art, which has had such an importance in world art, using some of its basic codes and bringing it closer to a contemporary style.
The sculpture is made of steel and blued in black. The protruding nose breaks the delicate curve that frames the head, while accentuating the eyes and mouth, formed by holes in the veneer.
The work presents a complex curve with greater height in the front than in the back, like a paraboloid, making the nose project even more forward and expressiveness to a set made through basic lines and holes.
El arte africano ha sido, desde sus inicios, uno de los principales referentes del arte abstracto.
Esta serie de esculturas pretende homenajear al arte africano, que tanta importancia ha tenido en el arte mundial, empleando alguno de sus códigos básicos y acercándolo a un estilo contemporáneo.
La escultura está realizada en acero y pavonada en negro. La protuberante nariz rompe la delicada curva que enmarca la cabeza, al mismo tiempo que acentúa los ojos y boca, formados por huecos en la chapa.
La obra presenta una curva compleja con mayor altura en la parte frontal que en la trasera, a modo de paraboloide, haciendo que la nariz se proyecte aún más hacia delante y de expresividad a un conjunto realizado a través de líneas básicas y de huecos.
