Barcelona-based artist David Moreno breathes life into architectural sketches through his captivating steel wire sculptures. Imagine intricate cityscapes and fantastical structures meticulously rendered not with pencil on paper, but with hundreds of slender steel rods and piano wires. Moreno’s process, which he himself describes as “drawing with sculpture,” captures the essence of a freehand sketch in a three-dimensional form.
The delicate tracery of his sculptures evokes a sense of movement and energy as if the buildings themselves are bursting forth from the page. By playing with light and shadow, Moreno adds depth and drama to his creations, transforming them into captivating “micro-atmospheres” that invite the viewer to explore imagined worlds.
