David Moreno came up with the most mesmerizing 3D wire models which depict the stairways and entrances of several famous basilicas. Moreno is a Spanish artist who is into drawing 2D structures on paper and converting them into 3D intricate sculptures.
What begins as an ordinary drawing on paper turns out to be a complex scene made of dozens of steel wires and….wait for it….piano wires!! After Moreno welds the wires and finishes the piece, he hangs it on the wall or has it dangling from the ceiling. He often intensifies the 3D-experience with spotlights which provide his artwork with a powerful impact.
The delicate stairways appear to be hovering over the place. Moreno often paints them in gold or silver as if he is linking us to an exciting new dimension. The welding and bonding between the wires express Moreno’s vision of human relations and interactions.
The Barcelona-based artist has displayed his art at many galleries and exhibitions across the globe like the Contemporary Art Fair in Istanbul, Turkey. Check out other wire artworks by David Moreno on Instagram

Emily Reyes is a Brooklyn-based architecture writer and Article Curator at Arch2O, known for her sharp eye for experimental design and critical theory. A graduate of the Southern California Institute of Architecture (SCI-Arc), Emily’s early work explored speculative urbanism and the boundaries between digital form and physical space. After a few years in Los Angeles working with boutique studios on concept-driven installations, she pivoted toward editorial work, drawn by the need to contextualize and critique the fast-evolving architectural discourse. At Arch2O, she curates articles that dissect emerging technologies, post-anthropocentric design, and contemporary spatial politics. Emily also lectures occasionally and contributes essays to independent design journals across North America.
