About this artwork
The artistic work belongs to the Torso series, made of steel and painted yellow.
The sculpture is based on an abstraction of the torso, human chest, emphasizing the volume between the arms and the abdomen. It works around a geometric reduction of the human breast, through linear forms, which are developed from a central element on which the rest of the work gravitates.
The simplicity in terms of form and line of this series aims to bring us closer… to the essence of what is perceived and, to some extent, pay homage to classical, Greek and Roman sculpture, which found its source of inspiration in the human body.
The sculpture is made of cut and welded sheet steel in order to obtain volumes that would be impossible with any other type of work on steel. The intense yellow finish gives this sculpture a marked contemporary character, allowing it to take center stage and presence anywhere in the house.

« 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.
