El Pensador
LC Taller de Esculturas produced the piece in bronze through lost-wax casting, resolving its complex volume and the finishes required by the artist to ensure its durability in an urban setting.

A meeting between contemporary pop iconography and the classical tradition of bronze sculpture.
El Pensador, by Nadín Ospina, merges the emblematic figure of Superman with the contemplative pose of Auguste Rodin’s The Thinker. Through humor and irony, the piece invites reflection on ideas of power, heroism and fantasy.
The sculpture is permanently installed in the public space outside the Bancolombia Building in Medellín, where it forms part of the city’s urban landscape.
