Pelícano, 2026

Joaquín Riera Llargués  

This intriguing sculpture captures attention with its minimalist yet expressive design. Constructed from a blend of sleek metal and warm wood, it artistically represents a bird standing poised. The bird's body is crafted from a round, perforated metal piece, providing a textured contrast to the smooth, elegantly curved wooden neck and elongated beak. The artist employs negative space to craft a dynamic sense of movement, amplified by the shadow the sculpture casts on the wall. The deliberate use of geometric shapes and a muted color palette emphasizes the modern, abstract nature of the piece. Mounted on a simple rectangular base, this artwork embodies a harmonious blend of form and function, inviting viewers to experience the intersection of creativity and simplicity. The sculpture's innovative use of materials and design makes it a striking centerpiece, sparking curiosity and contemplation.
