« I use a traditional language to express my own ideas about the world. »
Xavier Escala is an experienced sculptor based in Spain whose works have been exhibited nationally, as well as in Italy, Switzerland, Ukraine, and Turkey. Fascinated by the poetic, intellectual, and spiritual part of the sculpture, he continuously searches for the hidden beauty in nature. Escala's figurative pieces are first conceived by sketches and are then carved in stone and wood. His striking classically inspired works are translated through marble, bronze and ceramics.
