María Andrea Anzorena develops a sculptural practice where matter becomes a territory of balance between strength and contemplation. Her work moves between metal and stone, combining casting, patina, and direct carving techniques to reveal tensions between the solid and the ethereal, between mass and void.
Trained at the Escuela Nacional de Cerámica N°1 and a disciple of Antonio Pujía, her path integrates a deep exploration of noble materials, bronze, marble, travertine, Carrara; and their capacity to transform into expressive gesture. Each piece seems to contain an inner pulse, a latent energy that manifests on the surface, where texture, light, and the trace of the hand converse with the stillness of volume.

Her work has been recognized in various competitions and exhibited in renowned institutions such as the National Salon of Visual Arts, Palais de Glace, Museo Casa Yrurtia, the Buenos Aires Stock Exchange, and the Borges Cultural Center. She represented Argentina at the Museum of Contemporary Art of Yucatán (MACAY, Mexico) and received awards such as the Grand Honor Prize from the Argentine Association of Sculptors, the First Sculpture Prize from the Asociación Estímulo de Bellas Artes, and the Second Prize at the International Biennial of Contemporary Art of Argentina.
Through a language that combines technical precision and symbolic depth, Anzorena explores the human condition through matter: bodies in tension, presences emerging from the block, fragments that seem suspended between permanence and dissolution. Her sculpture invites slow contemplation, where form breathes and silence acquires weight.
