About the Item
Figurative ceramic bust sculpture with textured coat and expressive glaze, created in high-temperature reduction firing with oil-based polychromy. This sculptural work forms part of the Xentes series by Spanish sculptor Óscar Aldonza Torres, whose practice explores the human figure as a site of emotional tension, ambiguity and collective identity.
In this piece, the textured coat functions as a protective shell while the vividly painted face suggests the performative dimension of self-presentation. The surface treatment—layered glazes, carved passages and controlled reduction effects—reinforces the idea of duality: shelter and exposure, intimacy and distance, mask and revelation. The sculptural body rises with vertical force, while the sharply contrasted eyes and mouth introduce an almost theatrical presence.
Aldonza’s process-driven approach, grounded in expressive modelling and material experimentation, generates a work that is both psychologically charged and visually tactile. Xente Abrigo stands as a unique sculpture within the series and resonates with current collector interest in figurative expression, textured surfaces and psychologically infused portraiture.
