SCULPTURES
Thomas Canto’s sculptural works translate his visual language into three-dimensional forms that explore balance, structure, and spatial rhythm. Composed of materials such as painted wood, polished steel, mirrored surfaces, and nylon threads, these sculptures reflect the architectural dynamics of the contemporary city. Through tension, reflection, and precise geometry, each piece becomes a physical extension of the artist’s exploration of movement, perception, and urban abstraction.

STRUCTURAL CYCLES
2024120 × 77 × 15 cmMixed media on mirror-polished stainless steel, burnt wood, acrylic glass
Structural Cycles layers horizontal strata of burnt wood, mirror-polished steel and acrylic glass across a reflective circular field. Dense linear bands accumulate like sediment or skyline, their darkness set against the luminous disc behind, time registered as structure.




TIMES EXPANSION
202467 × 70 × 16 cmMixed media on mirror-polished stainless steel, burnt wood, acrylic glass
Times Expansion assembles black architectural volumes around a finely woven grid panel at its core, its diagonal threads radiating to the corners. Burnt wood and mirror-polished steel layer outward in measured steps time accumulating as built structure.




COMMUTABLE IRIDESCENCES
202460 × 87 × 13 cmMixed media on mirror-polished stainless steel, dichroic glass
Commutable Iridescences shifts in colour as the viewer moves, its dichroic glass refracting light into changing iridescent hues across mirror-polished steel. The work makes perception itself the subject, a structure whose appearance is never fixed, commuting endlessly between states.



DIMENSIONAL PLENITUDE
2023278 × 163 × 19 cm (variable)Mixed media on mirror-polished stainless steel, glass
Dimensional Plenitude spreads a panorama of blue-steel towers across reflective horizontal shelves, anchored by a white disc and black dot. The composition opens outward into a sense of full, expansive space: structure unfolding to occupy every dimension it can reach.




TORRENTIAL GRIDS
202340 × 215 × 15 cm (variable)Mixed media on mirror-polished stainless steel, glass
Torrential Grids cascades down an extreme vertical format, layered grids and mirror-polished steel falling like a torrent of structure. Seen edge-on, the composition compresses into a dense, fluid column. Architecture set in continuous downward motion.



STRUCTURAL MODULATIONS
202383 × 100 × 23 cm (variable)Mixed media on mirror-polished stainless steel, acrylic glass
Structural Modulations arranges grey, black and white volumes around a finely woven grid square at its centre. The rectilinear elements modulate outward in restrained tonal steps, a quiet architecture built on proportion and the interplay of solid and transparent planes.




STRUCTURED EXPONENTIAL SYMPHONY
2023255 × 100 × 100 cm (variable)Polyurethane paint, stainless steel, MDF, glass mirror
Structured Exponential Symphony rises as a free-standing skyline of transparent towers, their heights climbing in exponential rhythm from a mirror-polished base. Steel and glass verticals double in the reflection below, structure and its mirror image composed as a single ascending movement.



IRRADIATING PATTERNS
202390 × 168 × 20 cm (variable)Mixed media on mirror-polished stainless steel, dichroic glass
Irradiating Patterns radiates outward from a mirrored steel core in a dense corona of vertical glass blades. Dichroic panels shift between amber, blue and violet as the light moves across them, their fine barcode-like striations dissolving the solid structure into pure frequency, architecture irradiating into light and colour.




ORBITAL GENESIS
2023143 × 156 × 16 cm (variable)Mixed media on mirror-polished stainless steel, acrylic glass
Orbital Genesis interlocks rectilinear volumes into a rotating, self-contained system. Mirror-polished steel and acrylic glass fold around a central axis, each element pivoting as though caught in slow orbit, rigorous geometry held in perpetual motion.



CONCRETE PARALLAX
2022210 × 124 × 9 cmPolyurethane paint and silver plating on stainless steel
Concrete Parallax explodes a cityscape outward across a horizontal span, its layered planes shifting in depth as the viewer moves. A gradient travels from cool blue through amber to magenta, the linear architecture splintering and recomposing in parallax, solidity rendered as motion.




BRUTALISTIC TRANSPARENCIES
202383 × 110 × 30 cm (variable)Mixed media on mirror-polished stainless steel, acrylic glass
Brutalistic Transparencies sets heavy grey and black blocks against two concentric square voids that pull the eye into illusory depth. Brutalist mass meets transparent acrylic, weight and see-through surface held in direct dialogue, the solid and the immaterial in the same frame.




MODULOR EXPANSION
2023133 × 87 × 33 cm (variable)Mixed media on mirror-polished stainless steel, glass, acrylic glass
Modulor Expansions centres on a black woven-grid square set against a warm red glow, layered platforms expanding outward in measured steps. The title’s nod to Le Corbusier’s Modulor runs through the work, a proportional system caught in the act of expanding.




PARAMETRIC CONTEMPLATION
2023115 × 182 × 13 cm (variable)Mixed media on mirror-polished stainless steel, glass
Parametric Contemplation crowns a vertical skyline of black, white and grey towers with a white disc and a single black dot. The composition holds a parametric rhythm in quiet balance, structure resolved into a meditative, almost still configuration.




INTER SECTIONS
2022Circular composition Ø49 cmMixed media wall sculpture, mirror-polished and painted elements
This circular wall sculpture explores the interplay of architecture, light, and reflection. The composition radiates outward in dynamic lines, creating an immersive perspective that shifts with the viewer’s movement. The mirror-polished surface and gradient hues evoke both urban structures and cosmic expansion, blurring the line between painting, sculpture, and installation.




CONCRETE PARALLAX
2022210 × 124 × 9 cmPolyurethane paint and silver plating on stainless steel
Concrete Parallax explodes a cityscape outward across a horizontal span, its layered planes shifting in depth as the viewer moves. A gradient travels from cool blue through amber to magenta, the linear architecture splintering and recomposing in parallax, solidity rendered as motion.




ECLIPSING BINARIES
2022200 × 140 × 9 cmPolyurethane paint and silver plating on stainless steel
This circular wall sculpture explores the interplay of architecture, light, and reflection. The composition radiates outward in dynamic lines, creating an immersive perspective that shifts with the viewer’s movement. The mirror-polished surface and gradient hues evoke both urban structures and cosmic expansion, blurring the line between painting, sculpture, and installation.




GLITCHED SPECTRUM
2022110 × 110 × 9 cm (variable)Polyurethane paint and silver plating on stainless steel
Glitched Spectrum compresses an architectural perspective into a circular field, its mirror-polished planes bleeding from electric blue into deep magenta. White linear scaffolding radiates from a single vanishing point, fragmented and reassembled like a structure caught in a digital glitch.




ASCENDING DIFFRACTION
2022118 × 78 × 9 cm (variable)Polyurethane paint and silver plating on stainless steel
Ascending Diffraction thrusts upward in a vertical burst of black and electric blue shards. Scaffolding fragments lift and diffract toward the sky, the structure caught in the act of rising. Architecture unmoored from the ground, dispersing into light.




ECHOING DIAGONALS
2022144 × 87 × 9 cm (variable)Polyurethane paint and silver plating on stainless steel
Echoing Diagonals draws the eye into an incandescent core, where red and orange light glows from within a dark angular mass. Fine diagonal threads echo inward toward the centre, holding a charged tension between the black architecture and its burning interior.




ASCENDING DIFFRACTION
2021120 × 170 × 10 cmCar paint on stainless steel
This earlier Ascending Diffraction erupts in a dense burst of black and electric-blue blades, a fine scaffolding lattice exposed at its core. Sharp shards thrust outward in every direction, the structure caught at the violent moment of diffraction, order shattering into trajectory.




SPECTRAL STANDPOINTS
2019120 × 90 × 8 cmElectroplated and laser-cut mirror steel
Spectral Standpoints builds a dense vertical lattice of laser-cut steel, electroplated surfaces catching the light in deep violet and purple. Fine linear elements stack and converge like a structure seen from shifting vantage points. A single architecture refracted through the full spectrum of where one stands.




EXPANDED LIMITS
2019100 × 100 × 7 cm (variable)Electroplated and laser-cut mirror steel
Expanded Limits folds laser-cut mirror steel outward from a tight central core, blue planes radiating in a compact, faceted burst. Among the earliest of the series, it sets out the language the later work expands: structure, reflection, and the edge where form begins to break apart.




PRISMIC HORIZON
2019120 × 110 × 10 cmStainless steel
Prismic Horizon sets a finely etched cityscape into a hexagonal panel of mirror-polished steel, its converging lines drawing toward a central core. The reflective surface absorbs and returns the surrounding space, the architecture suspended between the etched image and the room it mirrors. A horizon held in steel.



STRUCTURED VOIDS
2021130 × 150 × 8 cmCar paint on stainless steel
Structured Voids draws a white linear cityscape out of deep black, its architecture radiating from a single vanishing point at the centre. Skeletal lines and open voids spiral outward in explosive perspective. Structure defined as much by what is absent as by what is built.



CERULEAN ATTRACTIONS
2021140 × 150 × 8 cm (variable)Car paint on stainless steel
Cerulean Attractions explodes from a finely gridded core into a radiating starburst of cerulean blades against black. Sharp blue spines pull outward in every direction while the latticed centre holds firm. A structure caught between magnetic attraction and centrifugal release.




STRUCTURAL OPALESCENCE
201960 × 60 × 6 cm (variable)Electroplated and laser-cut mirror steel
Structural Opalescence radiates white blades outward from a deep central tunnel, where shifting opalescent blues and pinks recede toward a vanishing point. The composition draws the eye inward through receding frames, architecture folding into its own perspective, shimmering at the threshold of depth.
