Since he first started out, Pablo Armesto has been particularly fascinated with the use of light, installations and the public space to create works whose striking use of resources not generally seen in artworks, such as LED lighting, cause a deep impression.

This interest in light, a driving force behind his whole practice, has always been based on a philosophical or aesthetic concept, which, as the artist himself claims, “is more than light.”

This piece belongs to a series of hybrid sculptural works in which light is used to draw concrete or abstract forms that take shape in a specific space, in this case within an immaculate white cube. The light materialises and takes on a physical entity, giving rise to a sculpture in which references to nature are to the fore at all times.

Estelar 8.50 contains a plastic recreation of a star. In pieces like this, Armesto undertakes a delicate work with fibre optic cables, which are lit in differing degrees depending on their direction and the distance to the main point of light. In this way, each cable takes on meaning in the overall composition that weaves a form reminiscent of a cosmic formation.

Estelar 8.50  is a unique and delicate work.
