About this artwork
This sculpture belongs to the Obosom series, a name cited in one of the essays by the writer Robert Graves, in which he mentioned: "Obosom was a visible manifestation of the Kra or life force derived from the moon and enjoyed a limited part of the full power of the moon goddess ".
It is therefore an approach, through the sculptural form, to the concept of divinity, so present in the art of all times and all countries, from classical Greek art to… Oriental art, passing through African.
The sculpture aims, through the abstraction of the basic forms of the female body, to approach the essence of the transcendent that has been perceived in all cultures, from the Christian virgins to the Hindu goddesses.

« 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.
