🎨 ART OF STEEL | Character shaped in raw form
📍 Albacete, Spain
On the streets of Albacete, Don Quixote appears — this time forged in steel, not words. Not as a classic literary figure, but as a bold, metal interpretation embedded in the region’s landscape.
Welded, raw steel plates — with sharp, irregular edges — build a deliberately simplified, almost sketch-like silhouette. It’s a form that doesn’t replicate detail, but captures the spirit of the character through the material itself.
Such works belong to the tradition of arte en hierro, characteristic of Castile-La Mancha, where steel and iron become tools for storytelling — stripped of excess, yet rich in expression.
➡ In the series, we explore how metal gives new form to classic stories. Do you see a knight in this steel — or abstraction? 👇
