Juan Garaizabal

His work stands out not only for his personal discourse, but also for his own techniques, worked by himself in his workshops in Madrid, Berlin and Miami, of manipulation of the forge, carpentry, electricity, plasticity and masonry. He uses a combination of materials and introduces elements such as wood, concrete, glass, brick, motors, LED lights… to cause the most interactive sensation possible of the contrast of time, the avant-garde and history.

Garaizabal has been fortunate that people and institutions from different cities around the world bet on his vision to rescue with sculpture extraordinary stories that are very specific to each place. A pagoda in Seoul, a palace in the Tuileries in Paris, balconies in Havana, a temple in Palmyra or a church in Berlin… behind each missing element there are simply human dreams. According to Garaizabal. In addition to the recovery of said energies, he always works with a strong environmental awareness of efficiency and recovery in the use of materials.
