This sculpture by Tomás Barceló features a figure framed within a structure that combines technological and ornamental elements, evoking a blend between a liturgical object and a futuristic relic. The aged and expressive face seems to belong to a figure of authority or wisdom, while the intricate blue and white patterns, reminiscent of engravings or arcane inscriptions, add a ceremonial aura.

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

21 x 7 x 25 cm | 8,2 x 2,75 x 9,8 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.
