Eduardo Olbés is a sculptor and designer born in the Philippines who lives and works in Tepoztlán, Morelos, México.

Olbés’ work is informed by the aesthetic traditions of his native Asia, but his study of the expressions of other cultures, from the ancient Venus figures to the masks of Mesoamérica, nurtures a dialogue with the past in which there is often an element of humor.

Materials are of the utmost importance: as opposed to the case where the medium has been superseded by the concept, his creative process places materials at the inception of the idea: Olbés fetishizes his materials, exploits them not only for their physical properties but also their cultural and historical implications.

Dilao, a sculpture park, is a recent experimental project for large sculpture in a sylvan setting.

Eduardo Olbés collaborates with individual clients, architects, landscape and interior designers to create special pieces for select environments. His signature designs are unique and will be enjoyed for a lifetime.
