Sylvia Riquezes designs and fabricates site-specific sculpture for architectural, residential, and public spaces, working directly with developers, architects, and interior designers from concept through installation. Her large-scale geometric and kinetic work is built to inhabit lobbies, common areas, and private residences, extending the visual language of her studio practice into architecture itself.

Commissions & Installations

Sylvia Riquezes installing a large geometric wall sculpture of crossing red lines from her “Spontaneous Structures” series.

Lake Tower, Key Biscayne

Installed in the lobby at Lake Tower in Key Biscayne, Overlapping Geometry spans 12 feet of wall with three interlocking diamond forms built from a network of crossing red lines. Designed and installed on-site by Sylvia, the piece was scaled specifically to its wall, 36" x 144" x 10", so it reads as part of the architecture rather than an object added to it.

Behind the front desk, a second piece, “Rectangle Dance”, greets guests as they check in: a stack of nested red rectangular frames, 81" x 63" x 5", built around a single red sphere suspended at its center. Framed within a cutout in the reception wall, it turns a functional architectural element into the focal point of the space.

Cynergi Loft, Wynwood

Installed in the lobby of Cynergi, an apartment building in Wynwood, Synergy is a dense cluster of interlocking red forms that climbs a corner wall, using directional lighting to cast long shadows that become part of the piece itself. At 123" x 80" x 16", it extends the same overlapping-geometry language as Lake Tower into a taller, denser composition scaled to the room's corner.

How It Works

Consultation

A conversation about the space, its architecture, and what the piece needs to do within it.
