Vanesa Muñoz MOlinero was born in MAdrid , specialized on iron sculpture and forge. She established in BArcelona in 2000, where ,her studies at Massana Art School , evolved towards a much more abstract style, focusing her interest in the connotations of the materials, and make a few dialogs and complicity between materials of very diverse natures. Her definitive change in conceptual question, was , after the career of philosophy specializing in aesthetics, where appreciates a sharp tendency to more transcendental topics, passing for the human existentialism, interest before the questions of physics , Quantum mechanics and mathematics. Influences of the Basque sculpture, and the Russian constructivismo, her sculptures meet in the intersection of the crudeness of the form and the sensitivity of the end of life.
