Killian Iglesis

Killian Iglesis, sculptor of contemporary breath.

From a very young age, Killian Iglesis nurtured a deep interest in images and creation. Passionate about digital drawing, he developed a personal visual language, on the border between reality and imagination.

But it was in the workshop he shared with his father, a sculptor and creator of the "little man," that Killian discovered the art of working with materials. There, he trained in a unique and demanding technique: blown sheet metal sculpture, developed by his father. This unique process, combining drawing, cutting, TIG welding, and shaping by inflation, transforms rigid sheet metal into taut, light, and expressive volumes.

Heir to this artisanal process, he now explores its potential in a contemporary approach.

While the gesture remains, the aesthetics evolve:

Killian favours more understated, taut, sometimes minimal forms, where the lightness of the inflated metal interacts with a demanding artistic approach.

His sculptures play with space, light and the internal tensions of matter, in a personal language rooted in his time.

In 2025, he created Bubble Bunny, a stylized rabbit with full, soft shapes, blown like a steel balloon. The work combines technical mastery, visual humor, and formal poetry, asserting a unique artistic signature.
