Ramon Pons Casadevall
@ramonpons_  @tretze_artestudi
(Catalonia, 1967)
is professionally known for his fashion design, however, his true passion and talent is revealed in his artistic endeavour.

Pons’ creativity is showcased in his sculptures, which embody a tangible expression of his commitment to purposeful and meaningful art. His figures, although infused with a social spirit and touches of surrealism, are also loaded with enigmatic poetry that invites the spectator to delve into and reflect upon them.

This talented Catalan sculptor has the ability to turn everyday experiences, news and images into three-dimensional characters, full of dreams, illusions, silences, and doubts. With his sculptures, Pons goes beyond merely portraying the human form, delving into its expressive capacity, transcending posture or mere physical representation.

His art, filled with poetry, not only captures the viewer’s attention, but establishes a visual and emotional dialogue. In his more conceptual works, he uses sculpture as a means to criticise society, balancing this powerful message with a strong aesthetic. The result is a work that provokes deep emotion, standing out for its pure forms and the simplicity of elements that emphasise the intended message.
