About this artwork
This sculpture works with the concept of compacting the human figure in a geometric volume, reducing the forms to a minimum but allowing them to be recognizable. Postulates close to those expressed at the beginning of the 20th century by cubist sculpture.
Without trying to follow exactly the aesthetic proposals of Derain, in his work "seated man", I have tried to get closer to it. Both to the work of Derain, and to those of Archipenko, which have… always fascinated me.
I remember well the first time I saw the sculpture "seated man", and the impression it gave me, that mixture of primitivism and geometry, which gave the work an unparalleled force.

« 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.
