Jesús Tellosa Signed Bronze Sculpture, Winged Figure, Mexico, 1999
Jesús Tellosa Signed Bronze Sculpture, Winged Figure, Mexico, 1999

Jesús Tellosa Signed Bronze Sculpture, Winged Figure, Mexico, 1999

By Jesus Tellosa

Located in Los Angeles, CA

This expressive vintage bronze sculpture was created by Mexican artist Jesús Tellosa and is signed and dated 1999. The work depicts a stylized winged figure rendered in Tellosa’s distinctive figurative language—abstracted yet deeply emotive, with softened anatomical features, closed eyes, and compact proportions that evoke introspection, spirituality, and quiet strength. Cast in solid bronze, the sculpture displays a richly developed surface with natural patina, visible tool marks, and subtle tonal variations that emphasize the artist’s hand and process. The wings, integrated seamlessly into the figure’s form, suggest themes of transcendence, protection, and inner transformation—recurring motifs within contemporary Mexican sculpture of the late 20th century. Jesús Tellosa is recognized for his contribution to modern Mexican figurative art, working primarily in bronze and other traditional materials while embracing simplified forms and symbolic narratives. His work reflects the broader Mexican artistic movement that sought to bridge pre-Hispanic symbolism, spiritual introspection, and modernist abstraction, positioning the human figure as a vessel for cultural memory and emotional resonance. A compelling and collectible example of late-20th-century Mexican bronze sculpture...

Antique, New and Vintage Figurative Sculptures

Figurative sculpture is a modern art form in which artists create work that is typically representative of the visible world. However, sculptures that are considered to be figurative in style can definitely be inclusive of abstract elements. A wide range of antique, new and vintage figurative sculptures has been made over the years by both well-known and emerging artists, and these pieces can prove striking and provocative as part of your home decor.

Realistic representation in visual art has a very long history. And while figurative artists, whether figurative painters or sculptors, find inspiration in humans, animals and real-life objects, good figurative sculptures can make us think differently about how the real world should look. Just as figurative paintings might include Photorealistic human likenesses, they can also include elements of Surrealism and can suggest a creative and alternative reality. Figurative sculptures aren’t always realistic impressions of our world — depictions of the human form in classical Greek sculpture, for example, might emphasize beauty and physical perfection.

There are a variety of figurative sculptures on 1stDibs created by artists working in a number of styles, including Art Deco, Art Nouveau, mid-century modern and more. A large figurative sculpture can introduce an excellent focal point in a guest bedroom, while smaller works might draw the eye to spaces such as wall shelving or a bookcase that people may otherwise overlook.

When decorating your living room, dining room, home office and study areas with figurative sculptures, don’t be afraid to choose bold colors to inject brightness into neutral spaces. Texture is another factor to consider when purchasing figurative sculptures. A highly textural work of ceramics or wood will catch the eye in a sleek modern space, whereas a smooth, flat glass sculpture can offer an often much-needed contrast in a room that already has many textures.

On 1stDibs, find antique, new or vintage figurative sculpture or other kinds of sculpture for your home decor today.
