something magical and dream

The painter and sculptor Antonio López explained that the sculpture ready for the expansion of the Atocha station will be a reminder of the victims who were the 11 March but "Not reflect the anxiety and fear but hope."


In his studio, Lopez described the sculpture that was commissioned Renfe and is titled "Day and night ', as innocence, which can transmit a clean face."

According to the artist, the sculpture consists of two heads of the same girl a year, a wake and a sleep, which will be made in bronze, with a height greater than eight feet on a sheet of metal.

"Seeing a child's head is always good, free of regret, all those things that happen to us after, dark, black," said Lopez, who claims that his sculptures comforting to travelers passing through the station and the release of the grief involved navigating by a place associated with such sad memories.

Something "magical" and "dream" is in that work that prepares López. "The two heads form a unit, will double vision of the girl who sleeps and wake up, like a garden of heads."

"This is my first commission for a public space and am thrilled to be in Atocha under the great dome, because for me is very significant, this station was the entrance of La Mancha in Madrid. And then what happened is very black and represents for me a more to offer something that assume a hope for those who pass through the station, "says the sculptor manchego.

Lopez said that the work is not completed until three or four years, is" in the process of casting " and said he still is thinking about the right height for a space as large as Atocha, "because they must be large but not too notable."

"We must go to the site to place because it is very important to see to view all the whole, "said the scholar-elect of Fine Arts.

Antonio Lopez takes six or seven years since the birth of her first grandchild, inspiration for his sculptures of children, especially in the heads, because "I have little time to do the rest of the body and what really amazes me about the children's faces."

The project of these sculptures was born then, and following the custom of Renfe thought that the heads could be a good reason for that request because it "convey good and bad."

After the attacks, it was decided not to change the original idea, because "the heads could also express the sentiment that emerged after the tragedy, only had to explain it." It was considered in seeking the cooperation of some poets to summarize with his verses what happened directly or indirectly, "looking for something beyond," said the sculptor, for whom he also is interesting to give way to words. "

For the painter and sculptor, after 11-M "nothing has changed, look closely at the horror and the need to do something, each from where you can", although politicians "who are able to more. We, the poor artists, what can we do? ".
