Sagittarius

2024

This suspended sculptural work presents four interconnected circular loops constructed from spherical beads in contrasting materials and hues. The composition features deep purple, pale lilac, silvery metallic, and golden elements arranged in a rhythmic pattern, with larger lustrous spheres punctuating strands of smaller beads. The work exemplifies Othoniel's signature approach of transforming humble materials into luminous, jewel like forms that engage with color, light, and spatial relationships. Created for presentation at a contemporary art fair, the piece balances ornamental beauty with geometric precision, inviting viewers to contemplate the interplay between containment and movement.

Notes
