About the Item
Hyperrealistic bronze female head sculpture with hollowed skull evokes mystery and organic patina. Soño (24 × 17 × 22 cm) by Aldonza is cast by the artist using the traditional lost-wax technique, resulting in a smooth, highly detailed visage punctuated by a deliberately perforated cranial top. The verdigris-green and warm brown patina that develops across the surface underscores the tension between exterior realism and an enigmatic internal void.
The figure’s serene, closed-eyed expression and subtly modeled features—full lips, defined cheekbones, and precisely rendered ears—reflect Aldonza’s exploration of the human face as an intimate mirror of universal anxieties and introspection. The calva (shaved) head, marred by crater-like openings, reveals an unsettling glimpse of the sculpture’s interior, inviting viewers to consider the hidden depths of identity and the duality of presence and absence. Each fissure in the skull is both accidental and intentional, reinforcing the organic dialogue between material research and spontaneous form-finding described in Aldonza’s artist statement.
Presented in museum-quality condition, Soño requires only a stable indoor pedestal or tabletop for secure display. Its modest dimensions and 3.5 kg weight make it versatile for gallery installations, contemporary interiors, or private collections seeking a compelling accent in earth-inspired, hyperrealistic sculpture. Available individually, this unique bronze head embodies Aldonza’s recurring concerns with metamorphosis, existential fragility, and the emotional ambivalence at the core of human experience.

Óscar Aldonza Torres (b. 1976, Santiago de Compostela) is a sculptor and Sculpture Professor at EASD Mestre Mateo. He holds a Diploma in Volume Techniques from EASD Mestre Mateo, a BA in Fine Arts from the University of Seville, and an MA in Art Heritage Management from the University of Santiago de Compostela. Winner of the 1st Prize at the XIV Open-Air Sculpture Symposium in O Grove and 1st Accésit of the Francisco Asorey International Sculpture Prize (Cambados), his work has been presented in venues such as the Salon d’Automne in Paris, O Rectángulo de Ouro in Portugal, “Respostas sen preguntas” at Galería Sabor a Menta (Santiago de Compostela), and “Animalium” at the MIHL Museum (Lugo), among others. In his sculptural practice, Óscar Aldonza Torres positions the human figure as an intimate mirror, reflecting universal fears and inner doubts. His creative process—both impulsive and experimental—is underpinned by rigorous material research, allowing forms to emerge organically as each work evolves. Predominantly working in series, Aldonza Torres embraces ambivalence and conceptual openness, crafting open-ended narratives that invite viewers to engage emotionally—ranging from identification to repulsion and intrigue—and to complete the dialogue with their own perceptions.

Untitled, Head Of An Artist, Avant-Garde Bronze Sculpture
By Phillip Pavia
Located in Surfside, FL
This is a bronze cast sculpture by Philip Pavia is part of his series of "Imaginary Portraits from the Club" , a one-man exhibition at Max Protetch Gallery, New York in 1982.

Pavia was active in the art world until his death in 2005 and received immense critical praise for his artistic and literary contributions. Recognized for his signature work The Ides of March...
