JOSÉ SOLER NAVARRO (Murcia, 1987). "Steel Silk. Blue" 2026. Stainless steel Certificate of authenticity included. Measurements: 95 x 75 x 15 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 aim to awaken a lively and inspiring energy in every viewer, adding a bold and luminous touch to any setting. José 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; the artist’s reputation for reliability serves as a seal of quality, and his elegance assures buyers that they are acquiring a piece of the highest caliber. The Murcia-based artist carries the art of forging in his hands, producing unique and special results 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. Grants and Subsidies: 2021: Development of the “Seda de acero” project.
