Carlos has made this 2nd piece in the series of Tree of Man
This striking piece of art embodies a masterful fusion of organic forms and intricate detailing, commanding attention with its imposing presence and meticulous craftsmanship. At first glance, the sculpture exhibits a commanding centerpiece that emerges from a polished wooden base, characterized by a sumptuous amber tone. The base itself narrows as it ascends, evoking a sense of upward growth, similar to a tree trunk or a pedestal for the crowned glory that it supports. The most captivating feature of this artwork is the flamboyant crown that radiates with an opulent array of colors and textures. Constructed from a mosaic of metal fragments, the crown is a mesmerizing blend of metallic gold and vibrant turquoise, interwoven with hints of copper. Each piece is carefully positioned, creating an intricate tapestry that fans out from the top of the base in an almost semi-circular flourish, reminiscent of a peacock’s fan or a lavish headdress. The central focus at the top is accentuated by the precise arrangement of these metal shards, which catch and refract light, imbuing the piece with dynamic energy and movement. The artist’s ability to contrast the smooth, elegant simplicity of the wooden base with the complex, textured richness of the metallic crown is a testament to their adeptness in blending disparate materials into a cohesive and visually stunning whole. The subtle interplay of colours and the contrasting materials create a visual dialogue that invites viewers to explore the sculpture from various angles, ensuring an ever-evolving viewing experience. The piece exudes an aura of regality and nature intertwined, presenting a harmonious balance between the raw beauty of the wood and the resplendent intricacy of the metals. This artwork is not merely a sculpture; it is an exploration of form, texture, and light, proudly asserting its uniqueness and demanding admiration.

This seller rewards your purchases of multiple artworks
Born San Jose, California, USA, Carlos Sanchez multi-medium artist, currently based in the Philippines. His work is found in Australia, Hong Kong, Japan, both North & South America, Europe and beyond, as well as award winning art installations in public places with commissioned pieces by various Government departments.
Starting in high school, working hard outside school hours, Sanchez's spare time was spent designing and customizing cars with new and innovative concepts. Thus the appreciation of functional art was discovered and expressed through many mediums.
After extensive traveling, his thirst to further express an artistic talent flourished. A mix of formal art courses lead to the exploration of multiple disciplines, including sculpture, creative woodworking, metal, glass and textile, often employing a combination of more than one of these elements, with a distinctive Latin American influence as a result of extensive travel and working in the region.
Moving to Australia in 1990, with a new son, Sanchez spent the next 23 years concentrating on functional art. He explored the creation of bespoke pieces for clients, with the understanding what each particular client had in mind, often surpassing the expected outcome. The 'in situ and functionality' of the art pieces, (amongst these - decorative lighting, furniture and doors) was always with unique artistic techniques, featuring innovational designs and many created just for a particular piece, and not seen before.
The Evolving Essence of Innovation is always a feature of Sanchez's work. He is currently immersed in brass pieces of purely abstract integral designs, and introducing a variety of new elements. He sees fresh evolution with an artistic eye applying the unconscious thought of 'outside the box', hence, enjoying the newest of this process, the 'Brass Sculptural Collection.'
