WINDSWEPT

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.
