"The Musician Sculptures"


The Musician art work shows the complicated game of balancing the space into the matter: inside the bronze, the sounds, the imaginary silence, and the characters that could be anyone of us.

Influenced by different images remembering a catalog of all trips, books and subconscious, the artist creates figures that moves between reality and imagination, pointing the sub realist of art.

Martha Curiel - Sculptor / Painter


With a touch of the surreal, Martha Curiel plays with imagination, emptiness and a hint of profoundness that culminates in the realization of the ethereal self. "The Musicians" bronze sculptures are part of a dream that elevates man´s essence and reveals the ability to produce sounds that are not heard and faces without distinguishing features. It is the characterization of symbiosis between body and soul.
