Have you ever wondered what goes through an artist's mind when turning clay into soul? Stepping into "El sueño de un niño" is not just visiting an exhibition; it is sneaking directly into the intimate workshop of Luis González Rey, a master from Cádiz whose mark transcends the purely sculptural.
As you walk through the room, you will find yourself surrounded by 22 masterly pieces that tell the story of a life dedicated to sacred imagery. It is a unique opportunity to observe the evolution of this local creator through a selection ranging from his early beginnings to his most recent works.
