UNIQUE EXAMPLE
VELE stands out for its minimalist elegance and refined use of materials. Made with overlapping sheets of bronzed brass, the work conveys a strong sense of movement and lightness, evoking the dynamism of sails inflated by the wind.
The use of elongated and inclined geometric shapes creates a play of tension and harmony, while the overlapping arrangement of the plates adds depth and three-dimensionality. The surface of the brass, with its bronzed and satin finish, gives the composition a tactile quality that enhances the contrast with the dark background. The edge of the frame, also in bronzed brass, encloses the work in a perfect formal balance, maintaining a coherent dialogue between interior and exterior.
The abstraction of shapes and the use of metallic materials create a sophisticated atmosphere, in which the solidity of the metal combines with a sense of lightness and fluidity. The visual effect is almost sculptural, making the work a focal point in any environment. The juxtaposition of smooth surfaces and the play of light and shadow further accentuate the dynamism of the composition.
VELE is a work that perfectly combines balance, movement and materiality. A creation that expresses strength and elegance, ideal for those who appreciate contemporary art with a strong material and conceptual component.
