The working path from the beginning is based on the research, study, and development of color and light to transfer a personal way in our work.
All works have been versed in that journey, always accompanied by the common element of the palm, which is present in our work.
Never seeking to express anything strange or new, but in a different and unique and personal, the propia.sin seek to work for the public but an audience for our works.
Every artist throughout history has been multifaceted, painting, sculpture, drawing, architecture, design .... Since antiquity, Leonardo, until you have proven Corbusier multidisciplinary training.
In our case, these are given, which makes our development faster and varied, as different disciplines complement a common discourse with the sense of being themselves, an enigmatic poetry as the very nature that inspire us The environment around us, so we decided to move our base several years working in this region, where light and color will invade.
Where palm trees around us ... all our partners in artistic discourse, and from the Canary Islands, the Caribbean, Egypt, Morocco, Indonesia .... Dubai recently.
And the main theme of the exhibition that the CAM has led for nearly two years by various museums of the Mediterranean coast from Barcelona to Almeria, recently exposed in the Almudí and the Hammer.
Where the sculptures, oil paintings and lived in language and format
Manolo Valdés is his meninas, their fat Botero, Hockney swimming pools, as we at palmeras.Siempre different, never the same
Form and materials
The sculpture on the esplanade of the Glorieta de Murcia consists of three palm trees that sit its shaft cut through steel rings, locked together in an irregular manner at an angle and diameter.
creating a rising trunk, which also opens to set the cup size of the palm, from which arise, as in natural branches sketched in a capricious, made with copper strips on pretty thick, to allow suspended air and Flectar with the same mobility as the original with the wind.
Both weathering steel, as copper have been treated with an oxidation process, speeding it up by our workshop acids to achieve the desired color and then skated
The lighting is carefully studied for evening draw in the air a dark line on the canvas with strokes of green, blue, red and brown, as if it were a painting, part of the surrounding space, rather than remain a static mode in a corner with a light static and flat.
For this is done through two types of projectors, a warm interior metal halide, which draws the path of the structure of the trunk, through its backlight, and a blue fluorescent light strips, which sweep the screen mode branches light, which enhances the color of copper.
These strips are outside that mark the axis of the internal road layout between the palm trees as a meandering flow.
During the day, the effect is reversed, the canvas is the ground, and the visual game that project is the leftovers of the branches, as well as traces of our work on the painting, give our personal touch
Just as the palm of our paintings are created to be viewed from a distance, these sculptures are designed to have to go under them, view them from below, and feel the fundamental mind to establish a discourse with the environment they are .
Therefore, the provision, leaving the arch of the hammer, prolongs the route of the Avenue of the roundabout, until you get to them and break the shaft with a break, marked by light in the ground which forces you to feel them.
This paper is not intended for viewing on a roundabout for example, because the effect is not seen from afar, but if they are beautiful, but never placed in rotunda.
Is a work that surprised even less by the size, which for simplicity.
To round, we have a very interesting project for one of the entrances of Murcia, where the prospect does allow you to surround the item and behold exempt.
As for Madrid City Hall we have designed a sculpture for a round of new entries into the city.
Or if we design for Alhama, sculpture bark Avenue roundabout Antonio Fuertes, a structure 10m in diameter.
With the concept of sculpture, for us it is important to the permeability with the space in which it is located, as previously studied the environment and how it interacts with the palm and vice versa, so it is canvas, all palm trees, but everyone is different, and each meaning is different.
because the space is an imaginary body.
In Orihuela.
CAM recently.
gave the City a sculptural group of 5 in front of the house of Miguel Hernández, there was considerable risk, so emblematic of the enclave, but the square, arid, in the mountains and the quiet poet's house was a considerable handicap, with which were resolved as a pentagon, which forms part of the package, forming a sculpture on which they could recite poetry hernadianas such as concerts, giving the performance of functional aesthetics interact.
Never arises as a decorative element to be laid waste in the middle of a square.
In the case of Murcia, on the contrary, the approach is bisected by a linear path, the location, also quite risky with the bishopric, therein lies the merit.
