Carlos García Muela (1936 - 2013)

Carlos García Muela

Carlos García Muela is a Spanish sculptor.

Carlos Muela studied at the National School of Fine Arts in Tetouan, Spanish protectorate of Morocco, he moved to Madrid in 1974.

His first sculptures were made of sandstone and were rather crude. Later he began to create more expressionist works in iron or bronze. In 1970, Muela began his series of Torsos of classical character, which became the basis of his work. The sculptor achieved highly expressive figures by breaking and layering them. This was achieved by spreading layers of wax, which broke at the moment of casting in bronze, thus enhancing the effect of the passage of time on the sculptural object.
