A 18K gold ring, by Alberto Guzman.
Peruvian sculptor Alberto Guzmán explores the relationship between space and light. He belongs to a generation of artists who see the void as a genuine element in the construction of their work. He models it through networks of intertwined rods or captures it in hollow spheres, where emptiness and light are concentrated. By polishing the bronze to a mirror finish, he plays on the ambiguity of reflections and constantly integrates the environment into his work, to the point of including the viewer himself. He masters light, gives it form and guides it, for example through a long slit in the marble that evokes a life's journey, or by materializing celestial bodies through punctuation.
Guzmán's work is not limited to a precise scale: it is above all the expression of his artistic reflection. On a small scale, this continued in the 1960s with the creation of gold and silver jewelry. Her jewels, produced as one-off pieces, take up the cup shapes and animated surfaces already present in her sculptures, continuing her research into emptiness, light and matter on the scale of the body. His work has won numerous awards in Peru and France, where he was decorated Chevalier des Arts et des Lettres.
Alberto Guzmán, a Peruvian sculptor born in 1927, explores the relationship between space and light. He belongs to a generation of artists who consider emptiness as a true structural element of the artwork. He shapes it through networks of intertwined rods or captures it within hollow spheres, where void and light converge. Through the mirror-like polishing of bronze, he plays with the ambiguity of reflections and constantly integrates the surrounding environment into his works, even including the viewer. He masters light, gives it form, and guides it for example, through a long slit in marble that evokes a life journey, or by materializing celestial bodies through subtle punctuations.
Guzmán's work is not confined to a specific scale; above all, it expresses his artistic reflection. On a smaller scale, this exploration extends from the 1960s onward into the creation of jewelry in gold and silver. His jewelry, made as unique pieces, echoes the cup-like forms and animated surfaces already present in his sculptures, thus continuing his exploration of void, light, and matter at the scale of the body. His work has been recognized with numerous awards in Peru and France, where he was notably made a Knight of the Order of Arts and Letters.
