Grass-Inspired Ceramic Sculptures

Artist Alberto Bustos Creates Surreal Depictions of Nature

— June 10, 2015 — Art & Design
The work of Alberto Bustos puts a surreal spin on Mother Nature's own art. Inspired by grass specifically, his sculptures take on abstract geometric forms that are full of textures and layers. Although that in itself is impressive, Alberto Bustos makes it appear at first glance as though he is working with paper materials. In reality, his sculptures are made out of ceramic.

Living and working in Spain, Alberto Bustos will have his latest work displayed at Mas De Les Gralles with 40 other international artists. It's undeniable that his sculptures are bound to stand out. The audience will appreciate this reinterpretation of simple vegetation as well as the intricate detail present in each piece.
