Gabriel Burgos Artworks for Sale

Concept

Gabriel's artistic work is the duty of contemplating shape in a way that it can reveal the dignity of humanity and the values that through figures, can transmit cultural values and humanism. His inspiration derives mostly from Greek art, which should never be understood as old-fashioned or out-of-date. Protagoras, the Greek philosopher (481 BC-411 BC) declared that “man is the measure of all things”, and certainly this affirmation defines the purpose of Gabriel's work, to emphasize the psychic and the emotional state of the human body and the nobility of its fundamental dimensions. His artwork has received the pleasant influence of sculptor Igor Mitoraj (Germany 1944-2014), who turned to aesthetic references of classical Greece, under contemporary features. Gabriel Burgos has chosen bronze under the lost wax technique, considering its plasticity and longevity. His current efforts are to materialize these principles in new projects that integrate current elements under the same aesthetic rigor.
