El Cavall de Barcelona is an artistic creation by sculptor Xavier Dols, combining art, design and imagination. Inspired by the spirit and history of Barcelona, this contemporary sculpture features elegant, simple lines and a distinctive personality, making it a unique and meaningful decorative object.
Some creations go beyond their physical form to tell a story. El Cavall de Barcelona is one of them: a sculpture filled with symbolism, imagination and artistic sensitivity, conceived to represent the spirit of a city that is constantly reinventing itself.
Behind this project is sculptor Xavier Dols, who imagined a horse that could connect art with everyday life, Barcelona's cultural memory and the freedom of imagination.
According to the legend surrounding the artwork, the Horse of Barcelona has wandered through the city for centuries, dating back to the days of ancient Barcino. Inspired by the nine muses, this imaginary character symbolises wisdom, generosity and Barcelona's welcoming spirit.
The original project was conceived as a large-scale sculpture where children could interact, play and invent their own adventures.
This desire to make art accessible to everyone lives on in the smaller sculptural reproductions of El Cavall de Barcelona, bringing the expressive character of the original artwork into a decorative format.
Its clean lines and unmistakable silhouette combine simplicity, balance and personality, making it a distinctive piece of contemporary design.
More than a conventional souvenir, El Cavall de Barcelona is a small sculpture that celebrates culture, creativity and emotion.
Created for lovers of art, design and Barcelona, it makes a beautiful decorative piece or an original gift with a story to tell.
The project took an important step forward in 2016 through a crowdfunding campaign on Verkami, helping to bring this distinctive artistic vision to life.
At Oniricat, we love objects with stories to tell. That is why El Cavall de Barcelona perfectly reflects our philosophy of celebrating original creations that connect design, culture and local identity.
El Cavall de Barcelona: a small sculpture for a great city. A unique way to bring home a little piece of Barcelona's spirit.
