_ Bio
I am an Argentine industrial designer based in Brisbane with 20 years experience in the industry, and a decade working at the intersection of art, design and production.
Ezequiel RosesFounder & Creative Director
I collaborate with artists, curators, museums, art galleries, and international biennials, to action large scale or technically complex art works. My perspective is sensible, technical, and honest; rigorous in its process and sensitive to context.
Lives and works in Brisbane. Available worldwide.
_ Manifesto
My hands are versed in welding, concrete, and casting. My mind combines critical thinking, project management, and conflict resolution. My emphasis is on the fundamentals: the process, the materiality, the clear resolution of a concept. I celebrate artisanal intelligence, the nobility of metal, and the power of simplicity.
_ Solutions
Consultancy
I accompany creative processes from original idea to realisation, focusing on technical feasibility, resource optimisation, and conceptual fidelity.
I research, plan, and develop strategies in collaboration with interdisciplinary teams to support artists in this process. We work with you to dissect your ideas, analyse potential materials, consider scale and plan intelligent solutions.
Manufacturing
I specialise in transforming concepts into real, functional, and powerful pieces. I work with metal as a natural language, combining industrial precision and craftsmanship.
I produce with attention to detail, time, and purpose. From hidden supports and freighting solutions, to metal or concrete sculptures; everything is done with rigour and respect for you and your vision.
Art Installation
Collaborating with artists, we action installations for contemporary art spaces. When installing, I focus on structure, atmosphere and safety.
I understand the rhythms, scales, and silences of art, working to ensure the work breathes, sustains itself, and interacts with its surroundings, exactly as the artist has imagined it.
Projects & Works08
