Sculpture of a male nude, 1986, metal

This striking contemporary sculpture represents a headless male figure in a contrapposto pose, captured with an elegant lean forward. Entirely made from dark welded metal fragments, the form of the figure is raw yet expressive, revealing both anatomical precision and an abstract texture. The fragmented surface evokes a sense of erosion and resilience, giving the piece a powerful tension between vulnerability and strength. With its industrial aesthetic and classical pose, the sculpture offers a modern interpretation of the human condition, suggesting both movement, decline, and presence.
