PRESENTING OUR

OBJECT of the MONTH
SPRING 2024

‘ARCHAE 410 - YELLOW GOLD’

hand-molded Light Sculpture
by LAS ÁNIMAS, Spain

GET IN THE MOOD OF THE GOLDEN DREAM OF SPRING

ARCHAE is a celestial collection of enlightened pendant sculptures designed and hand-made by the Spanish creative duo LAS ÁNIMAS. Crafted of epoxy resin, the light shines through volumes and textures, casting shadows and gradients that evoke dreamlike scenes. The piece reminds us of suspended crystal rocks or glistening ice-cubes, captivating viewers with their interplay of shapes and textures.

LAS ÁNIMAS
IS THE ARTIST COUPLE
TRINI SALAMANCA AND PABLO PÁRRAGA
AND WAS CREATED IN SEVILLE IN 2014

 
 

The creative universe of Las Ánimas starts from and seeks to make the mind wander, as an altered vision of reality, created through a language of minimalist, geometric and iterative patterns; to develop an iconography of retro-futuristic, transgressive, ceremonial and deeply evocative aesthetics through experimentation with different materials, shapes and textures.

The pieces transmit a parallel, dreamlike world, full of visions; of references to art, history, religion and the memories underlying popular culture, as triggers of the levers of their own unconscious memory and also of the collective memory. An aesthetic universe where sumptuousness, mysticism and magic come together, pieces of ceremonial character, volumes and resounding colours, textures and materials of high sensory impact emerge.

Works with a strong symbolic, mystical, tribal and esoteric component, conceived as TOTHEMS: keys that open secret trap doors to higher states of consciousness, related to mythology, ancient cultures, imaginary rites, sacred symbols and spirituality. Enigmatic structures that defy functionality and form; a universe full of emotions that lead to a spiritual state of mind lost in time.
