This sculpture by Tomás Barceló seems to emerge from a fusion of nature and fantasy, evoking both the profile of a guinea fowl and the sinister presence of a puppet movie villain. Its elongated head, with a curved beak and wrinkled skin, conveys a sense of cunning and restrained malevolence.

The reddened, half-closed eye enhances its conspiratorial aura, as if this strange being were scheming in the shadows. The worn texture and desaturated tones give it an almost fossil-like appearance, as if it were the remnant of a forgotten creature or the portrait of a character from an untold story.

Sculpture modeled in fine grog refractory clay and reproduced in resin. Painted with shellac, chalk paint, acrylics, ferric paint, and varnish.

13 x 25 x 9,5 cm | 5,1 x 9,8 x 3,7 in

Collection: Sculpture

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.
