Chelita Zuckermann | FLYING FLOWER – BUTTERFLY. 2023

Description

Chelita Zuckermann

Mexican and Italian architect and self-taught artist, born in Mexico City in 1965, graduated in architecture in 1991. From 1991 to 2006, she worked as an architect in Mexico before moving to Italy. Since his architectural studies are not recognized in Europe, she began creating artistic works in 2016 by transforming sheets of aluminum, stainless steel, and Corten steel into sculptures. 

Since 2017, three of her works have been placed in public places and are part of the artistic heritage of Porto Rotondo, Sardinia. As of 2019, two of her sculptures are part of the art collections of two museums, one at the PAPALOTE Museum in Mexico City and the other at the Jewish Museum in Casale Monferrato, Italy. 

Zuckermann has won four first art prizes, in October 2020 at the Biancoscuro Art Contest 2020 Prize, at the 13th Arte Laguna Prize in Venice in the Business for Art category, and two in Palm Springs, U.S.A. Thanks to the polished stainless steel and aluminum she uses, her sculptures reflect natural and artificial light and merge with their surroundings, capturing the surrounding colors as a mirror image.
The lightness of aluminum allows her aluminum sculptures to move in the wind. Chelita wants to bring joy and light with her work.
