Defying Gravity

Emil Alzamora is a Peruvian artist who looks at art differently. He uses his art to portray the human figure as something more than a static form. Through figurative sculptures, he distorts the human form to reveal varying narratives and provoke various emotions.

One of his works is the Human Figure, which was made to appear as if defying gravity. While this sculpture is located in New York, there are many other works like this around the world, especially in Cairo, Dubai, and London. Alzamora, in particular, creates his art with concrete, bronze, gypsum, and ceramics, to perfect those smooth surfaces.
