SCULPTURES

Most sculptures challenge the stillness of traditional forms, infusing them with movement and energy. Working with plastiline and clay molding techniques, he creates dynamic pieces that seem to breathe and shift, capturing a sense of motion within a static medium.

An interesting element of his exhibitions is the use of QR codes placed beneath each sculpture—when scanned, they reveal a story connected to movement. This interactive layer ensures that even though the sculptures remain physically still, the ideas behind them continue to move. This collection reflects his ongoing exploration of transformation, fluidity, and the ever-changing nature of existence.

Darryl Eisden is a Dutch-Caribbean artist based in Barcelona, working primarily with plastiline combined with traditional clay molding techniques. His artistic vision is centered on bringing movement to sculpture—making static forms feel alive, breathe, and exist in a modern, dynamic way. He describes his work as “graffiti in sculpture,” breaking conventional expectations of the medium.

Movement has always been an integral part of Darryl’s life. Having lived in multiple countries and cities, he has never known a static existence, and this fluidity deeply influences his art. His sculptures challenge the idea of stillness, embodying the rhythm and energy of change. Originally a musician, Darryl transitioned into sculpture, finding a familiar space for self-expression in a new form. His work continues to push the boundaries of sculpture, redefining how it can be experienced. His most recent exhibition is at Nau Bostik.
