Gustavo Vélez
Colombian artist Gustavo Vélez is known for his sculptures which embody a certain creative fluidity. He transforms the matter into works that play between the figurative and the conceptual, between forms easily identifiable and others more abstract, full of movement, light, shadow and search of the infinite.
"My work seeks a striking harmony between each line, bringing meaning, value and logic to dreams. They are creations that blend with the subtle air and dance, from beginning to end, while enjoying the changes in each movement. The challenge is to achieve that the hardness and heaviness of the materials attain a touch of brittleness and transparency, for the sculpture to become light and for geometry to float in space like a provocation of the infinite, like cosmic energy".
