"The eye you see is not an eye because you see it, it is an eye because it sees you" Antonio Machado. This poetry, gives title to this sculptural proposal that is part of the series Pictorial Artifacts, initiated in 2018, in which the artist explores the transformation of painting beyond the canvas. Pinya is inspired by poetry to create his imaginary and in this case under a humanistic sense, he invites the viewer to reflect on the way we observe ourselves and our context, within an individualistic society. Pinya invites us to build collective and committed gazes that pursue common goals.

In this series of Naturalezas Muertas, -they are materialized sculpturally in vertical gardens, which seem alive but are made with preserved moss- those transcendental themes for the human being, linked to the environmental collapse. A way of giving corporeity, in the form of sculpture, to issues that concern us: we are robbed of hope, life and destiny, and we have hardly any time left, hardly any future.

Yann Leto's inspiration happens in the ring and he recreates boxing scenes in his works. For the first time, he has created a sculpture with this theme, titled The round #4, which is his fourth exhibition on this sport. For Leto, boxing is a representation of the artist's own condition, a struggle with himself, a solitary work in which a lot of dedication is exerted to obtain little recognition. Boxing, like art, is a way of communicating with the public, in which passion is the only leitmotiv to keep working.
