Infinity
“Infinity” is a sculpture made of corten steel, inspired by molecular crystalline structures found in nature—a physical manifestation of a continuous, twisted surface of mathematical nature, evoking a three-dimensional interpretation of the infinity symbol.
In this interplay between form and illusion, the sculpture explores the paradox between the finite and the infinite—a looping structure that dissolves both beginning and end, suggesting that what appears limited is, in essence, limitless.
Vlad ȚENU
Vlad Țenu, the London-based architect whose first training in architecture took place in Iași, is a bivalent—or rather symbiotic—nature. He practices architecture by drawing on the visual and spatial values of three-dimensional art, yet he also confidently expresses himself through sculpture, where he fully explores architectural spatiality and volume. This interplay of communicating vessels is evident in the sculptural work he created during the Sculpture OPEN at Iași Airport. He titled his sculpture “Infinity”, crafted from Corten steel, which resembles, through his own interpretation—a personal homage to Constantin Brâncuși’s “Endless Column.” In this vision, flight toward infinity is embodied through two intertwined structures that embrace and thrust upward. They are two metallic tendrils, touched with cashmere-like softness, twisting and rising, piercing the celestial canopy.
Grigore ILISEI
Trained as an architect and favoring the integration of digital art and scientific (and figurative) data, the artist moves effortlessly between concepts (symmetry, infinity, modularity) as well as artistic practices—not just architecture, not just sculpture, but also design, and even "wearable art" (such as the Foræva concept, through which he dressed the renowned singer Björk in Swarovski crystals). His spectacular Infinity, rising from the rounded shape of a reflective pedestal, once again proposes linear or circular curves, launched into a fluttering verticality. The absence of figurative references aligns with a key component of the site—flight—as an opening toward the unknown.
A trendy material worldwide, corten steel provides durability, expressive strength, and a welcome chromatic imprint—rarely so fitting for three-dimensional works.
