NIVEL (JOAQUÍN RUBIO)

The base on which it sits, with a ribbed incision, is part of the work. The work seems to be born from the concrete base by the crevice that is brewing in it, the artist seems to have modeled in the air invading the space above the base, in such a way that the piece itself is broken and torn that it also seems that a future can return to its original form.
