Initially inspired by vegetal and organic forms (fruit, shells, roots), which she transposed to plaster and clay, her work quickly evolved towards increasingly simple lines, veering towards abstraction. The artist was also interested in the sense of movement she could give to her sculptures. At first, the movement was generated by human movement or intervention. Later, Marta Pan would make use of natural kinetic energy (air and water) to power her sculp tures. These natural forces created a dialogue with the artist’s exterior sculpture pieces, particularly with her iconic floating sculptures she started to imagine at the beginning of the 1960s.
