Portal by Pepe ValentiDimensions: D 110 x H 240 cm.Materials: Chrome-plated stainless steel, acrylic.A door to another dimension invites you on a journey to behold beauty, to wander off from our realities, to become present. Drawing inspiration from the captivating nature of water, this fountain has been hand-crafted to embody its essence in a unique form.Much like gazing into a body of water, this installation allows you to peer through its transparent façade while simultaneously capturing reflections that shift with every passing moment. At its core, this fountain embodies the interplay between solid and fluid elements,sparking an intriguing dialogue between the contrasting materials of water and metal. As an artist, my fascination lies in delving into the intricate relationship between humanity and nature, particularly with water. Its reflective properties and harmonious dance with its surroundings evoke a sense of wonder that never ceases to captivate.Through the creation of this portal, I aim to provide a pathway for viewers to engage with this fluid element, revealing its innate beauty and beckoning them to embark on a journey of exploration and discovery.Pepe Valenti is a young Spanish sculpture and installation artist based in Amsterdam, working in the fields of art and collectible design.
