Chillida wanted to be a footballer, but was injured and ended up studying architecture and art. He moved to Paris and started to work in plaster and clay. From very early on his work gained public recognition, such as the sculpture above Berlin (2000) for the Office of the Federal Chancellor in Berlin, and Monumento, (1971) in Düsseldorf.
I like how he added the alloy to Berlin to make the orange rust colour. I think that the textures of his work is very flat, he could use textures a bit more, but overall I enjoy his use of forged iron.
