About the Item
Expressive abstract metal sculpture by Jesús Tellosa (Mexican, 1936–2012), signed and dated Tellosa ’93. The piece depicts a stylized human profile in warm ochre tones contrasted by dark oxidized metal shapes that evoke clouds or abstract thoughts, reflecting Tellosa’s exploration of the relationship between form, psyche, and environment.
Executed in welded and painted steel, the work features a commanding presence with its bold silhouette and layered geometric planes. The sculpture rests on a sleek black base, emphasizing its architectural quality and interplay of color and texture.
Tellosa, born in Tacámbaro, Michoacán, was a prominent figure in 20th-century Mexican sculpture, celebrated for integrating surreal and symbolic elements into modern metalwork. His work bridges the language of Mexican modernism and postmodern abstraction, drawing influence from both indigenous culture and the avant-garde. Throughout his career, Tellosa exhibited extensively in Mexico and internationally, gaining recognition for his distinct visual vocabulary that merged industrial materials with poetic figuration.
This 1993 sculpture exemplifies his mature style—imbued with psychological depth, material expressiveness, and a powerful sense of human identity and introspection.

View AllWhimsical Bronze Sculpture by Francisco del Toro, Mexico, 1992
Located in Los Angeles, CA
Expressive and evocative bronze sculpture by Francisco del Toro (Mexican, Guerrero, 20th century), signed Del Toro ’92. This one-of-a-kind piece showcases del Toro’s mastery in merging organic abstraction with emotional figuration, embodying both movement and introspection through its fluid, surreal form.
The elongated figure, perched on a solid stone base, reveals a captivating dialogue between smooth, polished surfaces and rugged, textured elements — a hallmark of del Toro’s sculptural language. The patinated bronze transitions in tone from deep forest green to earthy bronze, emphasizing the interplay between form, texture, and light.
Del Toro’s work often explores the human spirit’s resilience and transformation, with this particular sculpture exuding both strength and vulnerability. The head, seemingly emerging from raw material, evokes a timeless and almost mythological presence, while the sensuous curvature of the body connects to themes of fertility and creation found in Mexican modernist sculpture.
