Enrique Avilez, a renowned sculptor from Baja California, has been captivating art enthusiasts for 38 years with his extraordinary talent and creative vision. Discover his unique style, where he skillfully represents anatomy - bones, muscles, nerves, and joints - with clinical precision while infusing each piece with fervent passion and serene intensity.
Artistic Philosophy:
Enrique's artworks serve as conduits for intangible ideas, effortlessly flowing from their source to malleable mixtures, evading the inertia of consumption and the intricate labyrinths of technology.
Avilez's art is deeply connected to the earth, fueled by materials such as adobe, sand, clay, cactus fibers, branches, herbs, animal bones, seeds, metal, glass, and even recycled plastic from equipment and computers.
