This sculpture depicts a monk automaton—an ancient-looking hybrid of the sacred and the mechanical. Seated in a meditative pose, his body is wrapped in a weathered robe that contrasts sharply with the exposed machinery of his head and inner mechanisms.

The piece evokes a world where spirituality and technology not only coexist but intertwine, raising questions about consciousness, the soul, and the persistence of ritual even in lifeless creations.

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.

35 x 29 x 52 cm | 14 x 11 x 21 in

Unique Piece

An exclusive and irreproducible work of art, singular and unique.

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.
