Isabel Nuño de Buen

Isabel Nuño de Buen's works unfold like enigmatic relics from a forgotten or yet-to-be-discovered civilization. Rooted in a deep sensitivity to materials and form, her sculptures evoke a mysterious visual language that resists immediate interpretation. Through an intricate layering of textures, structures, and symbols, she weaves a dense web of references that spans time, drawing equally from contemporary culture, ancient mythologies, and personal memory. Each piece becomes a poetic vessel, one that holds the weight of emotional, historical, and existential resonances. At the core of Nuño de Buen’s practice lies an exploration of the human condition: her sculptures reflect on fragility and resilience, chaos and order, evoking the nuanced interplay between the internal psyche and the world around us.
