About this artwork
"Obosom was a visible manifestation of the Kra or life force derived from the moon and enjoyed a limited part of the power of the moon goddess."
Under the name of Obosom some African tribes named certain deities of the natural world associated with the moon, which could be extrapolated to Western culture through virgins, which in many… cases have been fused with pre-Christian beliefs linked to landscapes, lakes, rivers, mountains or natural landscapes. events.
The Obosom series attempts to condense the magnetism of religious iconographic representations, both primitive, in the sense of tribal art, and Christian, under minimalist forms in which the volume is contingent on the purity of the form and framed by clearly defined lines.

« The investigation of space and form, close to primitive and essential art, is my engine of exploration and work. The attempt to achieve a pure form that reaches the subconscious of the viewer because it is capable of summarizing something universal. »
Roberto Canduela is an experienced Spanish sculptor with extensive national exhibition experience. Spring-boarding from the idea that our bodies limit and delimit us-both physically and mentally-he composes works with anthropomorphic references and a high degree of abstraction. He additionally experiments with architectural forms that generate fascinating spaces and gaps, and constantly dances between heavy and the light.
