Mar Solís in BBVA Collection
This is an excellent example of the beautiful iron sculptures by the artist Mar Solís. Its title refers to the central importance for the artist of her chosen materials, because “each material has its own language.”
Solís’ sculpture is eminently organic. Her personal process of treating sculpture is based on such diverse sources as gothic architecture, oriental calligraphy and plant forms borrowed from nature. Her works commandeer their surrounding space, the sculptor’s main field of activity, with curved forms that are whimsically entwined though without losing their sense of equilibrium: “My works activate a space for reflection and abstract meditations on the ideas of fragility and balance.”
This particular work is shaped by a rising movement of curved lines, in which each element ascends in helicoidal twists. Its final appearance is also affected by the wind, which provokes a series of oscillations.
