This sculpture belongs to the Obosom series, a name cited in one of the essays by the writer Robert Graves, in which he mentioned: "Obosom was a visible manifestation of the Kra or vital force derived from the moon and enjoyed a limited part of the full power of the moon goddess ". It is therefore an approach, through the sculptural form, to the concept of divinity, so present in the art of all times and all countries, from classical Greek art to Eastern, passing through African. The sculpture aims, through the abstraction of the basic forms of the female body, to approach the essence of the transcendent that has been perceived in all cultures, from the Christian virgins to the Hindu goddesses. The approach cannot be direct, but requires the expression of the inspiring force and power that these figures have had and still have for humanity. Steel fulfills this function perfectly since it allows the combination of straight and curved planes, dating the sculpture of power and elasticity. This large-format work is an extraordinary work of art, and a unique decorative object, with its mere presence it is capable of transforming a space. The photograph is in white, to highlight the details of the sculpture, and black and may present a slight difference from the original. Esta escultura pertenece a la serie Obosom, nombre citado en uno de los ensayos del escritor Robert Graves, en el que mencionó: "Obosom era una manifestación visible del Kra o fuerza vital derivada de la luna y disfrutaba de una parte limitada del poder pleno de la diosa luna". Se trata por tanto de un acercamiento, a través de la forma escultórica, al concepto de divinidad, tan presente en el arte de todas las épocas y todos los países, desde el arte clásico griego hasta el oriental, pasando por el africano. La escultura pretende, a través de la abstracción de las formas básicas del cuerpo femenino, acercarse a la esencia de lo trascendente que en todas las culturas ha sido percibido, desde las vírgenes cristianas hasta las diosas hindúes. El acercamiento no puede ser directo, sino que requiere de la plasmación de la fuerza y el poder inspirador que para la humanidad han tenido y tienen estas figuras. El acero cumple esta función a la perfección dado que permite la combinación de planos rectos y curvos, datando a la escultura de potencia y elasticidad. Esta obra de gran formato es una extraordinaria obra de arte, y objeto decorativo sin igual, con su sola presencia es capaz de transformar un espacio. La fotografía es en blanco, para resaltar los detalles de la escultura, y negro y puede presentar una ligera diferencia con el original.

He is one of the most remarkable emerging sculptor of the new artistic scene in Spain, he has done more than 60 expos, exhibited in Spain, Portugal, France, Belgium, Germany and Holland, and won several prizes. His metallic work wanders about the idea of the sacred. He gets the inspirations from classic forms that he puts together with modernity through a simplification exercise. One can sense the influence of great contemporary sculptors such as Noguchi, Chillida, Julio González or Richard Serra. Canduela’s work, in metallic welded sheets, is an outstanding pledge on the sculptural quality, on the well-done job and on the attention of the details. The goal of his work is to condense and summarize, through abstraction, the human subconscious. He takes as an essential example the interaction between the artist and his work. The sculptures arouse a singular attraction as well as a self-presence that is almost magnetic. Roberto Canduela’s career is moving upwards. Some of his sculptures are part of private collections; some has been used as Public Work in Spain for different companies and organizations.
