Artistic approach
GUIL works mainly in the field of public sculpture and installation in outdoor spaces, He has a predilection for abstract emotional geometry. He is inspired by nature itself, which he explores mathematically and transforms it with the desire to subvert its apparent forms, those of human imagination and notion of proportion in sculpture. It belongs to the avant-garde of the second half of the 20th century in Andalusia. He has received numerous awards in national and international art competitions for public sculpture and singular architecture. GUIL does not show much interest in issues of human nature and focuses on color, fractal shapes of flora and fauna or any other natural element closely related to nature. to aspects of the environment, such as the formal, political, historical or social context of environmental management. His works embody the link between matter and sensitivity, as in his enormous Italian sculptures «Luce» from the Gela court, in 2011, whereù The flexibility is easy to appreciate. with which the sculptural material disappears and the colored lines are drawn in space, especially if we observe the sculptural group from afar or at night.
