Agustín Cárdenas — Seated Form
Agustín Cárdenas

Seated Form

A sinuous bronze sculpture by Cuban artist Agustín Cárdenas, *Seated Form* embodies his signature fusion of Afro-Cuban spiritual traditions and surrealist sensibility. The work's organic, abstracted mass suggests a human figure in repose, its smoothly contoured surfaces evoking both the weight of the body and a sense of quiet, meditative stillness. Cárdenas masterfully exploits the warmth and density of bronze to give the piece a timeless, totemic presence.
