JOSÉ SOLER NAVARRO (Murcia, 1987). "Steel Silk. Mirror" 2025. Stainless steel. With a certificate issued by the artist. Measurements: 72x54x10 cm. "This work represents the fusion of strength and elegance. I used stainless steel to sculpt a dynamic form, evoking a sense of movement and passion through its vibrant color. It is an object that defies gravity, suspended in time and space. When viewing it, I seek to awaken a lively and inspiring energy in every viewer, adding a bold and luminous touch to any setting." José Soler has mastered the art of metalworking, producing unique and special pieces that endow his sculptures with character, personality, and purity. He plays with colors, light, geometry, lines, and volumes to imbue his works with beauty and elegance, bringing light and purity to the surroundings where they are placed. He forges cold, inert metal to breathe life into it and evoke emotions and feelings in his viewers. Soler, who holds a diploma in technical architecture and a degree in building engineering, defines himself as an artist and metal engineer. He is an official artisan of the Region of Murcia. José Soler’s pieces have been sold and exhibited internationally. Grants and subsidies: 2021: Development of the “Seda de acero” project.
