The small Fortress in the work of Amparo Tormo reveals a clear and conscious desire to introduce points of reference to the medium, to have certain support elements that help compensate for that kind of vertigo that every sculptor perceives during the creative process, facing the materials and space, a dialogue where rigor and coherence continually confronts evolution, with the work and the creator, a continuous and impossible task of imperfections and corrections in search of perfection.
For the last few years, Amparo has been working continuously in the solitude of her studio and facing correcting her own process, in the light and shadow of nature, with a rigorous and meticulous method where the sculpture contains and conceives architectural allusions, where The emptying of forms and the tension between structures is combined with space through basic, pure and full forms, which intersect between metals and wood, between black and shiny planes, as spaces of calm and tension.
Space and light.
An endiadis that continues to exist in the artist's work.
Construction and representation.
Essence and appearance.
Conflicts and dualities present in art since its birth.
The dangerous heterogeneity of these centers of force distinguishes the artist's work, placing her in a world that is both poetic and extremely analytical where the exploration of abstract space is done with natural materials such as wood or artificial and extremely cold like iron and steel, a conjunction of tensions, of light and shadow, of oppositions that would not exist without the other and that Tormo's sculpture controls, dominates and corrects them.<\/p>

Her works are in collections such as the IVAM. Valencian Institute of Modern Art, Bancaixa Cultural Foundation, in the Collection of Contemporary Art of the Generalitat Valenciana and also in foreign museums such as the Salvador Allende Solidarity Museum in Santiago de Chile. The artist has won awards such as First Prize at the VI Meliana Sculpture Biennial (2000), at the VII \u201cVilla de Mislata\u201d Sculpture Biennial (1999), at the VI Quart de Poblet Sculpture Biennial (1998). , the Work Acquisition Prize at the by Alfafar (1986).<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
