Tomas Barcelo Castela

Hi all

I came across this sculpture artist and thought I'd share, his pieces are initially made from clay with upcycling products added, then he casts in resin and hand paints them himself
He is  French and spanish and studied in Barcelona. more info:


Art allows its practitioners to express a great variety of things. It could be a socio-political message about the struggles of migrants, or an environmentally minded artwork that recycles electronic waste, and yet simultaneously says something about the ubiquity of it. Or perhaps it could be something as simple as upcycling fabrics to tell communal stories, or using reclaimed materials to beautify the urban landscape on a larger scale.
Whatever it is, art often has a message, or at least, can transport us to other worlds of the imagination. Looking quite fantastical and yet calling upon the classical tradition of sculpture of the ancient world, the works of French-Spanish sculptor Tomás Barceló Castelá seem to fit in this latter category.
Based out of Cala Millor, Mallorca, Barceló's unique work incorporates recycled everyday objects like razors, abandoned toys, or small appliances that no longer function.
