The exhibition 'Alma y Compás' featured the sculptural work of Korean artist Kay Woo, who was inspired by flamenco. Her 16 exhibited pieces aimed to convey her deep connection to flamenco, encompassing its sounds, like the guitar, and its movements, such as the zapateado of dancers.
Kay Woo, born in Busan, South Korea, developed her artistic aspirations from a young age, exploring various mediums including drawing, painting, illustration, comic art, sculpture, graphic design, and industrial design before specializing in sculpture at Seoul University. After graduating, she pursued graphic design in the United States and later worked for 12 years at General Motors, sculpting car models. Moving to Spain in 2001, she began sculpting freely, experimenting with diverse materials and aesthetics. Her encounter with flamenco in Germany profoundly impacted her, particularly the guitar sounds and dancer's footwork. This exhibition directly resulted from her engagement with flamenco, using materials such as bronze, resin, white clay, and aluminum.
