Pedro Figueiredo’s sculpting art, although it is figurative, it deviates from the representation of reality, taking us to a universe of feelings or circumstances where the associations are free. His sculpture is partly conceptual, even if the concept is not his creative focus. His sculpted bodies (human in form) are searches for concepts that the artist partially reveals through the titles of the pieces, and they are either mystical and mysterious, or they are easily related to the way we see. By turning to simplicity, disproportion, and distortion, he offers us figures which are too vertical or too horizontal, and have feet or hands which stand out from the rest because of a huge and somewhat primitive presence.
