Guess what material this work that looks like a 2D sketch is made of? Toothpicks, straws or wool? None, it is actually made of a lot of steel bars and piano strings! In my impression, Steel bars are mixed with cement and used to build houses; strings are used to play beautiful music, but this Spanish artist decided to use them to "paint" architectural sculptures.

Steel bars, which are usually inside the walls and support the core of the building as a whole, are used as the "paint" of the sculpture by artist David Moreno this time. His style is quite casual, yet delicate, using overlapping lines. The intersecting form of the lines expresses a sense of simplicity like a gateway-style building.

Although this kind of building seems to be unable to withstand the attack of the big bad wolf, it is actually very brave. After all, it is made of steel! Morenos works are between painting and sculpture, just like he describes his creative process : "I try to "draw" sculptures." Its a completely cross-border concept.
