This monograph devoted to Xavier Mascaró presents the work of this Spanish artist fascinated by myths and legends. He draws on archaic iconography – heads, masks, boats, human and animal forms – to give substance to the contradictions of the human soul. His work resonates with the heritage of pre-Columbian art, which he reinvents with power and poetry. Xavier Mascaró sublimates iron, an ancestral material to which he breathes new energy. Since 2004, he has extended his work to glass, wood, pewter, stone and ceramics. Over the last ten years, his installations of monumental works of art have become emblematic and are regularly exhibited in public spaces and galleries around the world.
