About artist
Arturo Berned
- Madrid, Spain, 1966 - Is an architect and sculptor whose work is based upon the reinterpretation of both shapes and metal. With an abstract approach, his works are conceived on the basis of the laws of mathematics and highly symbolic geometric impulses, the result of which is a series of works created on the basis of the golden ration (also known as the golden number or the phi number).

- In 2000 he was for the first time recognised with the international award “Puerta Escultura Loewe” and again in 2012, the IVAM is host to what so far has been his most extensive exhibition. The 50 works held by this museum in Valencia represent a journey through the artist´s creative world.
