Earth 2.10 wall sculpture | YOYO BALAGUÉ

€0.00

Earth 2.10 is a ceramic wall sculpture by YOYO BALAGUÉ that investigates material memory, surface transformation and the subtle language of earth tones. Built from a modular grid of square ceramic elements, the work presents a restrained yet deeply expressive composition where tonal variation emerges through firing, oxidation and manual intervention.

The ceramic surfaces reveal traces of pressure, cracks and irregularities, embracing imperfection as an essential part of the work’s identity. Browns, dark greys and muted mineral hues interact across the grid, creating a quiet, almost geological rhythm that recalls sedimentation, erosion and the passage of time.

While the grid establishes order and stability, each module retains its individuality, allowing the piece to oscillate between control and chance. Earth 2.10 functions both as a sculptural object and as an architectural presence, engaging with the surrounding space through its weight, texture and chromatic depth.

About the artist

YOYO BALAGUÉ

Yoyo Balagué approaches creation as a physical and instinctive act, where the body becomes the essential tool for shaping her work. With a multidisciplinary background in art and movement, her practice is rooted in exploring intuition and spatial connection through gesture.

Since the beginning of her career, she has developed a unique artistic language in which abstraction and minimalism merge to capture the essence of the moment. Her work reflects a pursuit of the essential through direct interaction with materials such as clay, canvas, and paper. She has drawn the attention of galleries and collectors for her ability to evoke sensations beyond form.

Yoyo works in deep concentration, often with her eyes closed, allowing movement to flow freely. Her creative process is a meditation in itself, a journey toward the purity of experience. The absence of superfluous elements in her pieces reinforces her search for the fundamental, establishing a dialogue between body, material, and emptiness.

For Balagué, art is more than an object—it is a sensory experience that transforms both space and those who inhabit it. Her work invites a perception beyond the visual, fostering an intimate connection with materiality and the present moment. Each piece becomes a trace of movement, an imprint of time and energy, where gesture and matter coexist in perfect balance.

Her artistic approach extends beyond traditional mediums, embracing performance and site-specific installations that highlight the fluidity of the creative act. Through her work, she challenges the boundaries between body and space, revealing the invisible forces that shape our perception.
