This sculpture frames the face of Kalix within a structure that resembles both a reliquary and an ancient technological device. The solemn expression and piercing eyes of the figure are surrounded by geometric forms and mechanical elements, enhancing its enigmatic presence.

The bluish and rust- like tones evoke the patina of time, suggesting an artifact that has endured through forgotten eras. In this piece, Tomás Barceló merges the sacred with the artificial, creating an iconic and ambiguous image that seems to hold a secret yet to be revealed.

Sculpture modeled in clay, carved plaster, and repurposed objects. Reproduced in resin with new details by assembling repurposed objects and epoxy putty. Painted with shellac, chalk paint, acrylics, and varnish.

15 x 6 x 15 cm | 6 x 2,5 x 6 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: Calix

The Calix (or Kal IX) collection brings together a series of sculptures that explore the multiple facets of this enigmatic character, Tomás Barceló's most iconic.

Calix is presented as a hybrid being between the human and the artificial, an entity that seems to belong both to a remote past and to a future yet to be discovered. His face, marked by mechanical patterns and structures, suggests a fragmented identity, at once mystical and technological.

Each version of Calix in this collection reinforces his elusive and enigmatic nature, making him a reflection of the mysteries that define Barceló's artistic universe.

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.
