Dodekathlos, a torso in homage to the workers of the old Euskalduna shipyards in Bilbao in an allusion to the twelve labours of Hercules. The work belongs to a series of sculptures, which, since 1987, have revived anthropomorphic figurative motifs, produced alongside the abstract sculptures. It is also an example of bronzes used for larger public sculptures in iron: the version in iron can now be seen outside the Euskalduna Conference and Performing Arts Centre in Bilbao. [Javier Viar]
