Tirkiz Cefas

Tirkiz Cefas

Wall-mounted sculpture

Cefas exudes authority and mysticism through the powerful presence of an aged masculine face. His flowing, dynamic beard seems to intertwine with the intricate ornamental details of the base, while the mechanical elements integrated into his head suggest a connection between the technological and the divine. The palette of turquoise and reddish tones provides a vibrant contrast, enhancing his solemn and enigmatic character. This sculpture invites reflection on the fusion of ancient wisdom and modernity, presenting Cefas as a timeless figure guarding secrets lost to time.

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