Awareness: Isabel Miramontes

Spanish sculptor Isabel Miramontes makes amazing bronze sculptures based on the human body. Inspired by “poses and impressions,” Miramontes creates these broken up bronze figures and surreal shapes that create an overwhelming sense of movement. These pieces are meant to focus on a deeper visualization of the human body in relation to the state of mind, and as the artist puts they are essentially illustrating emotional despair in physical form. These sculptures are stunning and so creative, and I would love to be able to bring in some of this creativity into my own depiction of people, as I am trying to break away from simple drawings of people's faces.
