Windswept is a sculpture by artist Gilberto Romero. He is a hands on sculptor.Through his shape, line and color we experience freedom, flow with pure and playful wonderment. Romero completed all his creations in his Santa Fe studio. His patinas are engaging and varied, ranging from monochromatic to mottled with intricate patterns unfolding.
An avid outdoorsman, Romero finds much of his inspiration from his time in nature. "I see shapes everywhere", he shares. His patient and intuitive nature helps him listen as nature "speaks" with the possibility of becoming part of a future piece.
A Poem Titled: Patina by John Petragila, Napa
O sacred coiled tendril of life
I praise your kinked
curlicued path
toward the sun
with forged bronze.
Shaped by wind
or the whispered weight
of a ladybug or dewdrop
at the edge of an ever-reaching vine
our journeys are turned, patinaed
by divine nature, nurture
steering us deftly away from
the straight and narrow
to our own tender ends.
