Escultura
Escultura is a cast bronze head in Spain, turned gently to the left. The profile shows a high forehead, elongated face, straight prominent nose and pronounced cheekbones.
Juan Antonio Giraldo shaped the surface with incisive cuts and planes, creating an expressionist, tactile presence. The bronze carries the signature “giraldo zero six” on its lower-left flap. Dated 2006, this head replicates one figure from a larger four-figure ensemble. That ensemble honoured Cervantes on the fourth centenary of Don Quixote’s publication, linking the portrait to a wider literary and public gesture.
The face appears austere from the side, while the incisions catch light across the metal. Look closely at the lower-left edge, where the compressed signature meets the bronze fold.
