Teo San Jose
Also called Sculptor of Poems, creates a sculptural work that arises from the desire to create dialogue spaces. His public and private works manifest a clear intention to intervene in people's daily lives by creating calm, serenity and peace. Instead of being trapped in standardized exhibitions, his works seek and find their own places and their own viewers.
Tension as a dynamic balance between concepts permeates all aspects of San José's work. The use of steel as a material confers weight and solidity to the work, while the voids provide lightness and personality.
He uses a language far from representation. Thus sculptures emerge where matter and emptiness not only give shape to space, but also penetrate it to create new emotional and physical places: sculptural poems.
