This piece combines ornamental red patterns with metallic textures, creating a figure that fuses the ritual and the mechanical. The assembled technological elements, along with the enigmatic face and circular forms, evoke a narrative filled with symbolism and mystery. The work reflects Tomás Barceló's artistic approach, exploring mixed techniques and repurposed materials to connect the traditional with the futuristic. This sculpture is one of the projects developed in the courses Barceló teaches on Domestika.

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

24 x 10 x 24 cm | 9,4 x 3,9 x 9,4 in

Original with Variants

Up to 8 numbered copies. Each copy is a unique reinterpretation of the original design, with completely different finishings, making each one exclusive within the series.

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.
