CANDILES

Private Collection, Spain

Φωτιά (2022) is a series of seven brass candiles—traditional oil lamps—created by Daniel Steegmann Mangrané as a signed and numbered limited edition. The Greek word Φωτιά, meaning “flame”, evokes the quiet presence of fire: a small, focused light like that of candles or oil lamps.

Staying true to his practice of working with organic, ritualistic and elemental materials, Steegmann Mangrané reimagines the candil not only as a source of illumination, but as a sculptural gesture—delicate, archaic, and profoundly intimate.

Each piece, handcrafted in brass, becomes a symbol of transformation and presence. The series affirms the artist’s ongoing exploration of perception, time, and our sensory connection to the natural world.
