Cristina Rommel's exhibition 'Alegoría de la metamorfosis' features 16 sculptures crafted from noble marbles, bronze, aluminum, and exotic woods. Designed for both viewing and tactile exploration, the exhibition delves into the concept of continuous personal transformation and evolution.
The Museo Tiflológico hosts 'Alegoría de la metamorfosis,' a solo exhibition by the German-Argentine sculptor Cristina Rommel. The exhibition showcases 16 sculptures, created from materials such as Carrara marble, Portuguese marble, Marquina black marble, bronze, aluminum, and fine woods like sapelli, cypress, anchico, and palo santo. These works are explicitly designed to be experienced through touch, allowing visitors to discover the essence and concepts behind each piece. Rommel, who is based in Vigo and holds a degree in visual arts, explains that the exhibition's title reflects her belief in continuous personal growth and evolution, stating that she and her works are a living reflection of this allegorical metamorphosis. The exhibition includes series like 'The 7 Deadly Sins,' 'Dialogue,' and 'Der Küstentanz' (female torsos), highlighting the artist's exploration of form and material.
Cristina Rommel's international career is marked by numerous awards and participation in symposia across Europe and Latin America. She has undertaken traditional courses used by Michelangelo and created commissioned works for governmental bodies. Her international exhibitions include venues like Galería Quadro in Vigo and Galería Pilares in Madrid. This exhibition at the Museo Tiflológico emphasizes accessibility, inviting visitors, particularly those with visual impairments, to engage with her sculptures through touch, perceiving the soul and concept of each work.
