Óscar Cenzano Carrillo Several museums, foundations and private collections exhibit my work. I have created more than twenty sculptures in public spaces. These include Mujeres de Negro (Women in Black), Lardero (La Rioja) 2011. Los Cuatro Elementos (The Four Elements) group of sculptures. Arrúbal (La Rioja) 2011. Mujer con Cántaro (Woman with Pitcher), Navarrete (La Rioja) 2005. Altarpiece of the Church of the Holy Spirit, Logroño, 2005. Camino de Santiago group of sculptures, Logroño, 2004. Los siete infantes de Lara (The Seven Princesses from Lara) sculpture in a plaza in Logroño, 1996. Liberpaz, Plaza de la Constitución, Calahorra (La Rioja) 1993. Project. I had a second meeting, this time in the town with its residents. Using a video projected in the Plaza del Ayuntamiento, I showed them the steps involved in creating a sculpture, processes that I had already followed in my past work. A third meeting at the end of November was an event organised by Marina Pascual, where I held a workshop on textures in clay for children and presented the two projects: Lechonero sentado con cochino (Piglet Dealer Sitting with Pig) and Lechonero de pie con cochino (Piglet Dealer Standing with Pig), the latter of which was ultimately chosen. Process. Casting. Once I finish the modelling, I make the moulds, which in this case are made out of rubber on the clay model. I divide the sculpture into six parts, fitting them with separating sheets, which I fill with the compound (liquid rubber, catalysed and thixotropic). These moulds make a negative reproduction of the sculpture. Since the rubber is flexible, it is easy to remove from the mould, but it has to be reinforced with a plaster counter-mould to make it firmer. The moulds are the same as those used in the foundry, where a bronze reproduction is made, with the final patina. Inauguration.
Born in La Rioja in 1954. I began my apprenticeship at the School of Arts and Artistic Trades (now ESDIR), in the drawing, modelling and casting classes from 1973-1980, training in figurative art. I have participated in numerous exhibitions, both individual and collective, as well as interventions in land art.“…pays homage to the “traders”, which used to be something that many people from Ventosa did to earn a living in the past.”
