Hugo Urrutia
El Dorado - Sculptural Geometric Abstract Gold Painted Wood Wall Artwork

2019

About the Item

Hugo Urrutia’s “El Dorado”, a striking 46-inch tall by 58-inch wide wall sculpture, seamlessly merges art, architecture, and technology into a dynamic and captivating visual experience. This monochromatic masterpiece is crafted with oil lacquer paint on meticulously carved Baltic birch, creating a three-dimensional sculptural form that challenges the boundaries between rigid surfaces and fluid motion. Urrutia’s work evokes the interplay of light, shadow, and form, making it an ideal statement piece for collectors of modern wall sculptures, geometric abstract art, and architecturally inspired artworks. In “El Dorado”, Urrutia explores the concept of “Flexible Rigids,” where a seemingly solid, geometric structure takes on the illusion of fluidity. The artwork’s surface is composed of meticulously carved triangular elements that form a harmonious, undulating wave pattern. Each triangular module interacts with the light, producing captivating shades, reflections, and shadows that shift with the viewer’s perspective. The golden oil lacquer finish enhances the surface’s luminosity, evoking a sense of elegance and sophistication reminiscent of shimmering silk or the gentle movement of nature. Urrutia draws inspiration from organic and natural phenomena—such as rippling waves, synchronized flocks of birds, and flowing fabrics—translating these smooth, harmonic forms into a precise architectural language. The repetition of triangular components creates a rhythm that feels both calculated and organic, encouraging the viewer to engage with the work’s depth and motion. The polished monochromatic gold palette imbues the sculpture with timeless elegance, while its undulating structure adds a dynamic energy to the space.

From Dusk To Dawn - Sculptural Geometric Abstract Metallic Wood Wall Artwork
By Hugo Urrutia
Located in Los Angeles, CA
Hugo Urrutia’s “From Dusk to Dawn” is a masterful 29-inch high by 38-inch wide sculptural wall artwork, crafted with meticulous precision using oil lacquer paint on carved Baltic birch. Part of his acclaimed “Flexible Rigids” series, this work challenges the boundaries between rigid geometry and fluid motion, transforming a structured surface into a captivating, undulating form. Urrutia’s innovative approach to sculptural abstraction and his ability to evoke natural harmony through architectural precision make this artwork ideal for collectors of modern wall sculptures, geometric art, and unique design-inspired pieces. In “From Dusk to Dawn”, Urrutia builds a mesmerizing composition of repeating triangular modules, meticulously carved to create a dynamic wave-like effect across the surface. The artwork’s deep red gradient transitions from darker tones at the top to vibrant crimson hues at the base, suggesting a natural progression reminiscent of twilight giving way to morning light. The carved facets interact beautifully with light, producing subtle shifts in shadows, reflections, and tones that shift as the viewer changes perspective. The repetitive geometric pattern creates both rhythm and structure, while the gentle curvature of the surface adds an organic flow, echoing Urrutia’s inspiration from natural phenomena like rippling water, wind-blown fabric, or synchronized flocks of birds. The contrast between the bold, rich hues and the natural wood accents further enhances the sculpture’s modern elegance, making it a striking centerpiece for contemporary interiors and architectural spaces.
