“Using nature as a guide, I create pieces to remind us that we are part of it.”
A new creation is born from the daily work in the workshop. The idea appears, it manifests itself.
Agustin draws limitless forms in his notebook. This allows for endless variations that, when placed in wood, have their own purpose. He lets the material tell its own story. Just as the grain of wood bears the imprint of a tree's age—the knot is where a branch grew—by learning to connect the dots, we see that the piece is already imprinted in the material.
His workshop is set up in a camper van in the middle of a forest of poplars, acacias, and ancient pines. He deeply respects and admires nature. The production process is laborious: the wood demands physical effort. It's important not to overexert the body, but it repays all that effort in every grain.
He uses hand tools, something he enjoys and focuses on in the simplicity of the piece. He works in series, which allows him to develop many variations within a single form.
He likes to start with an object, which may or may not be utilitarian, and gradually deform it until he arrives at its most sculptural version. He works with pruning wood and logs; he also visits lumberyards looking for discarded pieces.
Agustin presents us with carved wooden pieces; the FLIGHT series consists of pieces that seek to soar, exploring movement while remaining grounded.
These pieces are born from the need to express our responsibility to our land, a responsibility we must never forget.
These pieces are crafted from natural woods and also feature a charred wood finish, and their forms express simplicity and movement.
The WILD series includes wall and hanging pieces, carved from wood with pine needle inlays. A dialogue between body and soul.
The series is named WILD because that's who we are.
WILD because it's within us. WILD because we deeply love nature.
