This exhibition, “The Nocturnal Star” is an homage paid by artist Cristóbal Martín to Ibn Arabi. The exhibition includes iron sculptures, drawings and installations made using various media such as glass and metal.
Cristóbal Martín (Abdel Wahid)
A self-taught sculptor, he learned the trade from the Master Founders and has been developing it, reaching approximately forty works, in very different forms of expression: naturalism, realism, symbolism and geometry.
Converted to Islam in 1995, he has received the direct teachings of a living Sufi master. In this work, he has surrendered to a subtle suggestiveness, and to the inspiration of Sheikh al Akbar. And the challenge has been quite great, the bow pulled more taut, because attempting to make visible what can hardly be stated in words, the indescribable, bears with it an Alchemy, an encounter with dark matter and a very personal experience with Synchronism.
