Jordi D\u00edez Fern\u00e1ndez was born in Valladolid, Spain, on March 5, 1966. He currently lives and works in Centelles, Barcelona. He opened his first workshop in 1989 in Fresnedillas de la Oliva (Madrid). There, isolated for three years, he configured the sculptural concept of his work. <\/p>

The expression of the human figure is the axis on which his work revolves.<\/p>

In the different stages of his career, he has used all the materials typical of his craft: stone, iron, wood and terracotta. For Jordi D\u00edez these materials are the prelude to work exclusively with stainless steel, a metal in which he finds the expressive potential he needs for his works, leaving behind the discourse of virtuosic representation and giving way to the interior, to the inner energy. <\/p>

In this formal research he fully encounters the presence of the void, the emptiness, the deconstruction of the surface. Thus, Jordi D\u00edez uses the metal strictly necessary to imprison the air that contains the form, reaching a degree of synthesis and lightness that enhances the expression and the feeling of being in front of the reality that lies behind the tangible. <\/p>

His work is spread all over the world in museums, temples, public spaces and private collections.<\/p>
