Madola Brutalist Wall Art. Spanish Creation from 1979.

The bold and adventurous Madola creates enduring works in the realms of avant-garde, abstract, and evolving postmodern styles. His unique contemporary works are built from natural attributes, fueled by his passion, instincts, and spiritual senses. In our country, Gorka Lívia's chamotte and stone works from the same period were very similar.

Picasso and Gaudí laid such deep foundations that creators can build upon, and in Spain, they are considered culturally enriching and essential to the soul of the country.

The Symbolic Meaning of the Dove:

Dove/Pigeon (Columbidae)

The medium-sized dove is the bird of eternal fidelity, symbolizing the soul, harmony, and spring. It represents fulfilled love and motherhood. In Egypt, it symbolizes immortality, in Mesopotamia it is the attribute of the goddess Ishtar, and in Greco-Roman culture, it is associated with Venus or Aphrodite. In the Dodona oracle, the dove was the prophetic animal.
In Jewish tradition, it symbolizes innocence, peace, and immortality. In Christianity, it is a symbol of the source of life, the personification of the Holy Spirit: "Then heaven opened, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and alighting on him" (Matthew 3:16).
When the dove brings a wedding ring to Mary, it symbolizes the bride of the Holy Spirit, but it can also represent the apostles at the crucifixion. In folk poetry, the beloved woman is represented by the dove, and a pair of doves symbolizes love.

Condition:

It is in good condition, though there are a few scratches visible on the frame.

Madola Biography

Born on February 14, 1944, in Barcelona.

Madola studied ceramics at the Escola Massana in Barcelona and earned a doctorate from the University of Fine Arts in Barcelona. Since 1996, he has participated in solo and group exhibitions in various Spanish cities (Barcelona, Madrid, Valencia, Canary Islands, Seville, Pamplona, Gijón, etc.), as well as in foreign countries (France, Belgium, Switzerland, Germany, United Kingdom, Italy, Portugal, Hungary, Slovenia, USA, Japan, South Korea, Mexico, China). He has won several awards and is a member of the International Academy of Ceramics in Geneva and the UNESCO Work and Creative Council in Paris.

At the invitation of various public and private institutions, he lectures and conducts seminars on large-scale ceramics, particularly for public spaces. His works are found in various collections and national and international museums. Supported by the Catalan Government, he conducts studies on materials, sculptural intentions, and their integration into public spaces. Since 1988, he has worked on large-scale projects in Barcelona (Plaça de la Font Castellana 1992), Manchester (Catalan Square 1996), Icheon Park in Korea (Memory Catalonia-Korea), as well as private and foreign locations.

In addition to his ceramic works, he has been working with paper, glass, and paintings since 1980.

"I found sources of inspiration living intensely in Catalonia, in Barcelona and the Maresme region, in the blue of the sea, the plum-colored johannisbrot trees, and the ochre of the earth; in my old neighborhood of Sarrià, where a monk walked the quiet streets reading a prayer book; in historic Barcelona, with its old black stones full of graffiti; in the studio of my childhood with my family, at the Museum of Romanesque Art, and further with Gaudí, Picasso, Miró, Tàpies; drawing from our Mediterranean culture, but also from my travels, encountering contrasts in the East, mystery in Arab and African countries, identifying with ancient Europe, and the geographical and architectural richness of America. Sometimes I work like a musician, in the form of variations; at other times, I create shows that differ only slightly, moving, stacking, or compressing the material within itself."
