This sculpture, inspired by Teo, the endearing character from Francesc Grimalt's The Strange Children book series, captures the poetic and melancholic essence of the character. The metallic structure, with visible gears and intricate designs on its head, reflects Teo's delicate complexity—a being that embodies both vulnerability and strength. The engraved ornamental details on the face evoke a sense of unique individuality, while the skeletal body, composed of mechanical elements, suggests an inner world of gears and emotions in constant motion.

Assembly of carved plaster elements reproduced in resin, combined with found objects. Finished with a metallic effect using shellac, acrylics, wax, and varnish.

22 x 19 x 44 cm | 8,5 x 7,5 x 17 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.
