Brussels-based sculptor Xavier Puente Vilardell turns blocks of wood into twisting, curled objects that look more like scrolls of paper or pieces of fabric than lumber.
Many of these eye-catching sculptural forms resemble architectural structures and other natural forms shaped by wind, rain, and the sea’s turbulent waves.
Vilardell’s series of wood pine sculptures are meticulously carved with unique, elegant features.
The artist uses pinewood, a malleable material that enables him to make precise and curved structural forms.
To create his sculptures, Vilardell uses traditional cutting tools and crafts each piece by hand.
His skill and patience enable him to turn the blocks of wood into sculpted forms that twist in every direction, almost appearing to defy gravity.
Vilardell says, “Working with wood requires a deep respect for the living being that is necessary to understand its inner nature and characteristics that give a certain personality.”
