An outstanding result of meticulous biological study, precise technical design, and carefully scaled execution, the fascinating world conceived and forged by the skilled hands of Chelita Zuckermann never fails to astonish, captivate, and move with each new creation.
Elegance, dynamism, and lightness define the unique language of this Mexican–Italian architect and artist, inspired by her homeland and the creatures that inhabit it. Her passion for entomology is sublimated into futuristic robotic beings, while the alpine animals she sculpts are endowed with a divine regality — their graceful forms and the luminous quality of satin-finished and polished stainless steel bringing them to life with ethereal presence.

Zoomorphic sculptures filled with meaning: power, freedom, instinct, spiritual guidance.

explores the dynamic dialogue between pure forms and space, where lines and volumes move in a balance suspended between rigor and freedom.

unveils stories of innocence and strength, where the shadow of myth blends with the longing for freedom. Each form, shaped with materials that defy time, holds a secret suspended between reality and dream.

tells the secret encounter between winged creatures and plants, where every form celebrates nature’s silent intelligence and the hidden beauty of its small miracles.

My Creative Process

Architecture is the starting point of every sculpture I create. When I begin a new piece, I study the subject, analyze its proportions, define the dimensions, and design each element using technical software—just as I did in architecture.

I then create a small aluminum model to evaluate volumes and balance. I carefully select materials—polished or satin stainless steel, or corten steel—considering thickness and finish to craft metal art sculptures that reflect light and engage in dialogue with their surroundings.

The metal sheets are cut using laser technology, allowing for precision and clean lines. I personally oversee all subsequent phases: bending, welding, and assembly, as each step is a vital part of my vision.

I design contemporary outdoor sculptures and large-scale environmental artworks that integrate with natural and architectural spaces. My work includes public art projects, site-specific installations, and bespoke sculptures for public spaces. Often inspired by the animal world, I create animal sculptures that celebrate movement, presence, and symbolism.

Each sculpture is unique: I never produce multiples, because every work is a singular, unrepeatable creation.
