A course by Tomas Barcelo
Tomàs Barceló is a traditional sculptor who uses clay and plaster, but who has dared to reinvent himself, adding new materials and new techniques and languages, such as assembling found objects. For Tomàs, this has been the perfect combination between his love for ancient sculpture and his passion for fantasy and science fiction, resulting in his “ancient relics of the future”.
During his career, he has had the opportunity to work as a sculptor in the world of cinema with “Asura”, Maleficent II, and “Dune” by Denis Villeneuve. Today, he is dedicated to creating his own world in the form of sculptures and sharing it with his audience on social networks.
