Artist Statement

Eduardo Rangel is a Venezuelan sculptor (1970, Venezuela), his organic and abstract wood sculptures, blends traditional sculptural techniques with contemporary approaches to form, material, and expression. His practice is rooted in innovation and experimentation, transforming natural wood into tactile, intuitive pieces that celebrate both craftsmanship and conceptual depth.

Working from his studio—conceived as a laboratory of ideas—Eduardo Rangel explores the possibilities of sculpture through a meticulous yet instinctive process. His artworks evoke a dialogue between the rawness of the material and the fluidity of abstract form, often drawing inspiration from nature, the human figure, modern sustainable architecture, and deep emotional undercurrents. Each sculpture is not only a physical object but a reflection of Rangel’s inner world, offering viewers space for personal interpretation and emotional connection.

Rangel’s artistic approach merges organic aesthetics with a modern sensibility, honoring the natural beauty and textures of wood while challenging conventional sculptural norms. His commitment to sustainability and the intrinsic qualities of his chosen materials positions his work at the intersection of tradition and forward-thinking design.

With a career shaped by both his Venezuelan heritage and his life in Europe, Eduardo Rangel continues to develop a distinctive visual language that speaks across cultural and geographic boundaries.
