The work 'Gorila' by Josep Maria Viaplana is a sculpture that represents the strength and majesty of the gorilla, using welded and varnished iron nuts as the main material. The choice of this material suggests a connection between nature and industrialization, inviting reflection on the coexistence of both worlds. The metallic texture and stylized form create a visual dialogue that challenges traditional perceptions of figurative sculpture.

The work evokes a sense of movement and vitality, despite its rigid material. The arrangement of the nuts allows light to play across the surface, generating shadows that accentuate the gorilla's muscular forms. Viaplana manages to capture not only the physical essence of the animal but also its indomitable spirit, inviting the viewer to contemplate the force of nature in a contemporary context.
