Sebas Brau Sold at Auction Prices

b. 1972 -

Sebastià Brau studied in the Superior School of Conservation and Restoration of Cultural Goods of Catalonia. He complemented his formation in the school of applied arts and artistic crafts, of sculpture, enamels and jewelry. He also took courses in forging and molds at the Can Xatarra workshop school. He participates in several editions of the Festival of sculpture and marble of Saint Beat. Holds a solo exhibition at the Hotel Atenea Apart Hotel in Barcelona and participates in group exhibitions of small sculpture in the gallery Arte Siesta in Barcelona. He participates in competitions of rapid ice sculpture in pairs, being awarded in two consecutive years with first prize. He currently combines his sculptural creation with the production of molds for various artists and with the elaboration of sculptural and industrial prototypes for different brands.

His deep knowledge of modeling and jewelry techniques forged in him a particularly exquisite way of approaching sculpture, with the craft of the most meticulous craftsman. His workshop is a magical stage on which appear tightrope walkers, acrobats, comedians, and dreamers of all kinds. His characters are lyrical transpositions of our desire to defy gravity, to escape from the prosaic inertia to which we are submerged by our daily obligations. They always travel above or below the common people, aspiring to the highest flights, mimicking the birds, but also diving like sea creatures in the depths of the ocean. In their mixture of refinement and ingenuity, the variety show, fables and the cultured literary tradition converge in them, becoming popular geniuses, expressions of collective concerns.
