Round sculpture in which the silhouette of Las Meninas by Velázquez is presented in a conceptual way. A figure that has influenced the artistic conception of Antonio Azzato, which he has been studying for more than a decade. With this design, which consists of an abstraction of the iconic image created by Velázquez, Azzato has managed to bring a personal vision and a new artistic life, turning Las Meninas into transcendental works, which are now established as a symbol of Madrid's heritage. Antonio Azzato began his academic training in the field of industrial engineering. He continued his studies with a master's degree in commercial management and marketing at the Instituto de Empresa in Madrid. Years later he moved to New York where he was introduced to the study of interior design, studying at the Parson School. His interest in art has been constant since his childhood, for this reason his works reflect a great knowledge in the history of art. Always from a new and contemporary perspective, influenced by urban art. His works are a reflection of this language where the viewer approaches icons or historical references, but through new textures and materials, thus generating new discourses and interpretations on the history of art and the relationship of the public with the work. His pieces can be found in different countries, making also different designs for restaurants, interventions, or his own artistic project art by Azzato.
