Piranha
“A bold red gaze transforms wood and metal into pure character”
Piranha immediately captures attention through its compact silhouette and piercing gaze. The red eye emerges from the metallic face like a concentrated source of energy, turning the sculpture into a living and alert presence. The contrast between shaped metal and sea-worn wood creates a visual language built on tension and balance.
The metal surfaces are rich in detail: folds, engravings, perforated sections and layered elements that resemble scales and armor. At the center of the artwork, the driftwood preserves its natural grain and introduces an organic dimension, creating a constant dialogue between nature and human intervention. Every component appears to have found its place after a long journey.
From a distance, the sculpture instantly conveys the nature of a predator. The sharp fins, compact body and broad tail create a composition that expresses strength and control. Up close, textures, welds and traces of time reveal the history of the reclaimed materials.
Through creative recycling, discarded elements gain a new identity. Piranha becomes a reflection on transformation: fragments become an organism once again, waste becomes presence. An artwork that brings energy, character and subtle narrative tension into any space.
