Malnus Maer

Malnus Maer

Wall-mounted sculpture

This sculpture explores the richness of the fusion between the human and the animal, oscillating between the figure of a faun and that of a demon. With delicate and expressive features, the work captures a duality that is as fascinating as it is unsettling.

The textured details and shades of brown and red tones enhance the depth of its design, while the intense gaze conveys a mysticism filled with symbolism. This piece is an exploration of the boundary between the natural and the supernatural, a representation of the duality that defines our perception of the monstrous and the beautiful.

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