Tectonía Diatréfica Trapecio
Paul Anton
Concept
Tectonías explores how architecture shapes the spaces in which we live, playing with contrasts: the solid and the lightweight, the fragile and the forceful. Through layers of paper, the work combines structure and lightness, creating a dialogue between the fragmented and the continuous. Inspired by the evolution of human dwellings, it draws influences from tectonic architecture, the sculpture of Henry Moore, the Basque school, Japanese semiotics and geology. Its aim is to connect natural shapes with those created by man. Diatréficas represents the latest evolution in the exploration of dwellings, incorporating a warm background that reinforces the sense of shelter and refuge in architecture. Its name comes from a conceptual construction that combines dia (through) and tréfico (trapezoidal shapes), in homage to the trapezoids from Jorge Oteiza’s Paper Laborategia. More than a material exploration, these pieces soften geometry with colour, transforming the space into a more welcoming and habitable place, where sensitivity and memory play an essential role.

Paul Anton is a visual artist whose relationship with art began as a teenager, drawing comics and exploring visual narrative. During his architectural studies, drawing took on a central role in his life, becoming a tool for expression. A turning point in his career was the recognition of his talent by his brother, an architect and mentor, which marked the beginning of him being perceived as an artist and strengthened his connection with creativity. With a philosophy that prioritises the creative process over the end result, Anton combines an experimental approach with a rigorous technical structure. This balance is reflected in his work, characterised by a constant quest for development and an exploration of new horizons. Inspired both by introspection in his studio and by travel and the spirituality of different cultures, his work captures the essence of his surroundings and the endless flow of ideas that drive him to create.
