Architecture plays a fundamental role in the design of Chelita's metal sculptures. As a sculptor, she studies the subject and its proportions, defines the dimensions, and performs the necessary calculations to ensure the piece is harmonious and proportionate to reality. She then designs the individual parts of the sculpture using a program (as she did in architecture with AutoCAD) and creates a small model in aluminum. She selects the material and thickness of stainless steel and/or corten steel to craft reflective sculptures that interact with their surroundings.
Chelita sends the designs to a metal workshop, where the sheets are laser-cut. Once the pieces are cut, she oversees the bending and welding processes to assemble and complete the sculpture. Her works also include outdoor sculptures designed to integrate with the external environment and custom-made sculptures created to meet the specific needs of each client. Each sculpture is unique, as Chelita does not produce multiples.
