Green Hopes

Berdea Espero is a sculpture-object that serves as a bridge between the mineral world and the vital energy of plants. Its name, which means “Green Hopes” in Basque, translates the resilience and silent growth of nature into a structural form of metal and precious stones.

The Concept : This work is a tribute to the plant world, expressed through the apparent coldness of mineral and metal to reveal their hidden life force. It explores the concept of hope as an organic process—a vertical rise toward the light, much like the growth of a forest, captured in a permanent and sculptural state.

The Materials : The sculpture is composed of massive aeronautical alloy, hand-sculpted for its purity and strength, combined with luminous Green Agates. These stones, evoking the deep hues of moss and foliage, are set within elements of engraved aquatinted Maillechort. The interplay between the mysterious radiance of the Maillechort and the transparency of the agates creates a vibrant, living harmony.

The Craftsmanship : The creation of Berdea Espero requires meticulous manual intervention. The aeronautical alloy is worked directly from the mass through complex hand-processes to achieve its final form. The Maillechort is then hand-engraved using the aquatint technique, creating a texture that mimics the organic irregularities of nature, allowing the light to dance across the surface like sunbeams through leaves.

The Vision : More than an object, Berdea Espero is a symbol of verticality and renewal. Designed for interiors where art is seen as a source of contemplative energy, it brings a touch of organic poetry and ancestral mystery, standing as a testament to the enduring bond between the elements and the living world.
