Estepona Town Council reports that Room 2 of the Casa de Las Tejerinas, located in the Plaza de las Flores, will host the sculpture exhibition ‘Momentos’ by the Algeciras-born artist José Luís Biedma from 31 October to 19 November.

The sculpture exhibition consists of a selection of 20 works, most of them made of steel,  which reflect the artist’s sensitivity and talent, offering the public a unique visual experience.

In addition to Estepona Town Council, the exhibition has the collaboration of the Asociación Andaluza de Hemofilia (ASANHEMO), which “joins this cultural initiative that promotes art and social participation with enthusiasm”.

The exhibition will be inaugurated on 31 October at 18:00, and can be visited from Tuesday to Friday, from 09:00 to 20:00, and on Saturdays from 09:00 to 14:00 and from 16:00 to 20:00, with free admission.

José Luís Biedma. “I was born on 7 January 1968 into a family dedicated to the metal sector, surrounded by tools, measuring instruments, sheet metal cuttings and abrasive machines, always refusing to follow in my father’s footsteps, even though he was a role model for me without my admitting it; until I made his teachings my profession.

I trained in all welding, machining and metalworking procedures, thus entering the monotony of work, until, without thinking about it, I began to find shelter in the creativity of my works. It became an obsession to have to bring each episode of my inner self out in creative forms of fantasy.

Without pigeonholing myself into a monotonous, repetitive style, I mix ferrous elements, giving them the forms of paintings and objects with shapes impossible to imagine, which, in turn, allows me to know myself better and better. The more I build, the more my imagination flows, always without letting myself be influenced by any other external style, but being infected by everything it gives me.

Another of my passions is the sea floor, which also inspires me, as I scuba dive. This passion allows me to dream of shapes I do not find on the surface of the earth.

In this way, I want to share part of this, my work, which I hope will always be unfinished”.
