Chelita believes that "nature is the greatest and most incomparable work of art" and therefore created a symbolic metamorphosis of metal, an inanimate product, into a "living" sculpture. These sculptures blend in with the environment thanks to the reflective properties of the materials they are made of (stainless steel, corten and aluminum), shining in the sun's rays and partially moving with the wind.
Chelita's sculptures are an expression of the spirit and spirituality of Mexico, the artist and architect's country of origin. Nature, the feeling of freedom, femininity, mythology and spirituality have inspired her works, already visible in two museums in Italy and Mexico, as well as in public places in Italy.

Each sculpture is unique as Chelita does not produce multiples. They are made with sheets of polished, satin and flowered Stainless Steel, Corten steel, polished and hammered colorless and anodized aluminum. She transforms these sheets of different sizes and thicknesses into sculptures, assembling the sheets with welding, bolts and rivets. Thanks to the total reflection properties of polished Stainless Steel and polished aluminum, her sculptures reflect natural and artificial light and blend with the environment, taking on its colors as a reflection. The lightness of aluminum allows some of her sculptures to move with the wind. With these sculptures, Chelita wants to bring light and joy.
