Carla Cascales

Meditative works built from assemblages of stone, wood, and pigment, where emptiness plays a structural role. Inspired by the rhythms of water and natural cavities, the series suggests an internal balance between what flows and what remains. Technically, the precise execution of cutting and polishing, as well as the deliberate preservation of material imperfections, stand out. The composition is organized by the opposition of textures, evoking the minimal forms of arte povera.

In Posidonias, Carla Cascales creates white lacquered aluminum mobile sculptures that evoke the undulating movement of Mediterranean underwater meadows. The light and modular pieces combine formal precision with an organic and ethereal appearance. Their kinetic behavior introduces the dimension of time and breath into the exhibition space, proposing a contemplative experience that creates tension between the natural and the constructed. The series reflects the artist's essentialist approach, where form, matter, and void are balanced in a visual poetics of the minimal.

Carla Cascales works with the traditional Japanese ceramic technique of raku to explore the concepts of imperfection, transformation, and chance as part of the creative process. Each piece emerges from the fire marked by unpredictable fractures, smoking, and crackling, making accident a constitutive element of the form. The earthy materiality, the organic texture, and the balance between control and spontaneity give the series a deeply meditative and sensorial poetics, where the material becomes a symbol of the ephemeral.

A pictorial-sculptural series exploring the surface as a territory of memory. The works, created with plant-based resin, natural pigments, and irregular wood supports, simulate an organic skin in a process of mutation. Compositions are built through translucent layers, where gravity and drying time dictate the final gesture. Formally, there is a conscious treatment of fluidity, allowing chance to control part of the execution, in a clear assimilation of process as part of the discourse.

Nude distills the notion of nudity to its minimal, organic, and abstract sculptural forms, evoking the sensuality of the body without explicit representation. Worked in marble, wood, or plaster, the pieces explore intimacy and vulnerability through contained curves, smooth surfaces, and reduced proportions. The series establishes a dialogue between body and matter, proposing an essentialist vision of being through formal subtlety and visual silence.
