Muller Nube, Cloud Woman, is a unique sculptural work by Spanish sculptor Óscar Aldonza Torres, whose practice combines figurative expressionism with experimental casting processes and conceptual depth. In this sculpture, the traditional representation of the female form—historically linked to eroticized and idealized beauty—is deliberately subverted. The head is replaced by a large, cloud-like volume derived from crumpled paper, shifting the symbolic center of the body from physical appearance to intellect and thought. The hollowed abdomen, an unexpected outcome of the casting process, reinforces this conceptual displacement, evoking prehistoric Venus figures while denying their conventional association with fertility. The work is cast directly from paper without intermediate molds, a research-driven technique developed by the artist that allows no corrections and embraces chance as a generative force. This process produces raw surfaces, structural irregularities, and an intense material presence, making each sculpture irreproducible. The expressive bronze patina and elongated figure enhance the sense of fragility, tension, and autonomy that defines Aldonza Torres’ sculptural language. Muller Nube stands as a singular bronze sculpture that resonates with contemporary interests in feminist reinterpretation, expressive figurative sculpture, and experimental casting techniques.
