Óscar Aldonza TorresLow-Fired Glazed Ceramic Head with Oil-Paint Detail. Woman in Blue Cloak2024
2024
About the Item
Low-fired glazed ceramic head sculpture features a radiant blue cloak and oil-painted facial details, exploring the tension between exposed identity and hidden emotional depths. Woman in Blue Cloak measures 48 × 42 × 22 cm and weighs 5 kg, crafted by Aldonza in 2024 using a low-temperature ceramic body layered with translucent scarlet and ruby glazes. Painterly oil accents render the closed eyes, softly parted lips, and delicate ear with lifelike warmth, while the drapery’s glossy red folds crackle and pool organically, evoking supple fabric and natural rock veining.
Only the visage emerges from beneath the voluptuous cloak—its controlled reveal underscoring themes of vulnerability, duality, and inner fragility central to Aldonza’s practice. Each application of glaze yields unique surface markings—no two folds mirror each other—ensuring this one-of-a-kind piece carries distinct character. Presented in museum-quality condition, Woman in Blue Cloak rests directly on a low plinth or stable tabletop and requires no special installation beyond a secure display surface.
This piece pairs with another from the same series, which can be found in our catalog. We offer a significant discount when both are purchased; please don’t hesitate to inquire if you are interested.

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.
