Enrique ASENSI
Enrique Asensi is a sculptor.
Born in Valencia in 1950, he now lives and works in Cologne and Barcelona.
For his monumental works, Asensi mainly uses granite and corten steel, while for his jewellery he uses diabase – similar to volcanic basalt – and brushed brass.
It was in 2020 that Enrique Asensi created miniature sculptures for the first time. Accustomed to monumental formats, the change of scale was drastic, yet the artist manages to retain all the strength and complexity of the confrontations he likes to orchestrate between stone and metal.
"This form, both open and expanding, manifests itself in all its interpretations and variations, creating individualities only from itself. These artist's jewels bring us closer to the horizon where the unknown and the already known become one entity."
Enrique Asensi, May 2021
