Sergio de Miguel Explores Artistic Balance and Ethical Moderation in Contemporary Practice

Sergio de Miguel examines the concept of balance in artistic creation, advocating for ethical moderation and compositional harmony. The discussion references Alexander Calder's 1957 work 'Negro, blanco y diez rojos' as an example of precise proportion. De Miguel argues that artistic excellence emerges from finding equilibrium between excess and deficiency, emphasizing material honesty and functional integration of elements. The text explores how this principle applies to environmental sustainability through optimal resource use. This philosophical approach to artmaking promotes coherence between form, function, and ecological responsibility.
