Auror Fusta

Auror Fusta

Wall-mounted sculpture

This piece combines an ethereal expression with textures that evoke the surface of weathered wood, giving it an organic and timeless character. The forms framing the head resemble natural elements, such as roots or horns, reinforcing its connection to nature. The palette of neutral and worn tones enhances its melancholic aura, while the subtle sculptural details invite exploration of a narrative that lies between the earthly and the transcendent.

Sculpture carved in plaster, based on a cast from a fine grog refractory clay model, and reproduced in resin with extra details in epoxi putty. Painted with shellac, chalk paint, acrylics, and varnish.

Tomás Barceló's passion for sculpture drives him to explore a wide range of styles and techniques, from classical and archaic sculpture to natural modeling and experimentation with both traditional and contemporary methods. His curiosity leads him to work with plaster carving, assemblage, embossing, and polychromy, combining diverse materials and innovative approaches in his creations.

Barceló not only seeks to preserve the richness of traditional sculptural techniques but also to reinterpret them in a modern context, creating a unique language that reflects both the weight of history and the freshness of constant artistic exploration.

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.
