Reload (b. 1972, Barcelona, Spain) is a contemporary Spanish sculptor known for redefining the language of marble sculpture through a distinctive blend of classical craftsmanship and modern cultural imagery. Raised in a family of antique dealers, he grew up surrounded by art and history, which cultivated his deep understanding of classical aesthetics and traditions.

While marble remains at the core of his practice, Reload’s work transcends imitation of the classical canon. Instead, he fuses elements of pop culture, cinema, and rock music into what he calls a form of retrofuturist art—a visual language that bridges nostalgia and innovation. His sculptures reinterpret Western art’s iconic symbols with wit and provocation, inviting new dialogues between the past and the present.

At the conceptual level, Reload explores the tension between “eternity” and “transformation.” By employing marble—a material traditionally associated with permanence—to capture fleeting cultural expressions, he challenges conventional notions of time, legacy, and collective imagination. His work honors the technical rigor of classical sculpture while asserting a profoundly contemporary vision that merges the timeless and the transient into a single aesthetic experience.
