A look into Roberto Gutierrez artistic creation lets us discover his great effort and obsessive worry of trapping something so subtle and fleeting, as the movement.

History of art; concretely of sculpture, shows that the challenge of Roberto Gutierrez is not new. The muscular movement has been treated through time and space by other artists, who have solved the problem in their own way. In the obsessive hands of Roberto Gutierrez his work shows that movement is not a simple attitude; it’s what transforms all and gives life.

When Roberto Gutierrez introduces movement to a block of marble, stone, wood, or bronze, he alters the natural essence of the materials.

He as a great god, through movement… transforms, tortures, renders and obtains from inert masses, bodies with life!

“Sculpting” for Roberto Gutierrez is a way of expression that permits not only to communicate the concept he has of human kind, but as an artist, to reveal his aesthetic worries. His work proposes a canon of beauty which is not a classical representation of the body. Free of rules, methods and measures, creating a new type of shape, with certain muscular and anatomical exaggeration, that curiously far from attacking… attract; leaving the soul exalted. His sculptures are alive! They are always in movement… dynamic movement that alters the spirit.
