This sculptural piece combines elements of the mechanical and the organic in a compact and symbolically rich design.

At its center, a form resembling a shell or technological insect is flanked by tubes and details that suggest an ancient device or ritual machine. Framed within a border reminiscent of a reliquary, the piece feels like a relic from an imaginary world where functionality merges with mysticism.

The aged finishes and metallic textures enhance its archaeological character, evoking an artifact recovered from a lost era, steeped in mystery and history.

Sculpture modeled in clay, carved plaster and reused objects; reproduced in resin. Painted with shellac, chalk paint, acrylics and varnish.

12 x 12 x 6 cm | 4,7 x 4,7 x 2,3 in

Unlimited Series with Variants

Design open to multiple reproductions, with slight variations in finishes for a customized option, with no limit to the number of copies.

Collection: Robot Portraits

Inspired by the aesthetics of science fiction, Tomàs Barceló presents his robots as introspective and almost spiritual figures, offering a visual meditation on consciousness and the essence of being in the technological age.

Each sculpture features anthropomorphic traits and details that evoke both the weight of the machine and the mystery of identity, suggesting that these beings might harbor a spark of soul or purpose. With his unmistakable style blending the archaic and the futuristic, Barceló transforms each portrait into a reflection on humanity in a world of artificial intelligence.

About the artist

Tomás Barceló

Tomás Barceló, a Mallorcan sculptor and disciple of the master J.S. Jassans at the Faculty of Fine Arts in Barcelona, blends his passion for archaic sculpture with assemblage and polychromy.

Throughout his life, his boundless curiosity has led him to roles as a teacher, lifeguard, mariachi, bagpiper, film sculptor, and gallery artist, among others. His work is the culmination of his love for form and color, inspired by ancient art in his youth, fantasy and science fiction in his teenage years, and building toys from his childhood.

With each piece, Barceló seeks to restore sculpture to its place as a popular art, accessible and present in every home once again.
