Sculptures for religious art

  • • Jesús discovered his vocation as a teenager
  • • He likes to transmit feelings in his sculptures
  • • Seville has influenced his work

Religious figures and statues are a hallmark of Sevillian craftsmanship. In Castilblanco de Los Arroyos, Jesús Manuel Romero Hernández is a specialist in modelling religious figures out of clay. In his teenage years, Jesús realised that he wanted to dedicate himself to this craft, and he became a master in gilding and artistic polychromy, as well as in sculpture and carving. When he started out, he simply worked at a table in his family home, but later this transformed to become his definitive workshop. "In 2010 when I returned from Italy, I settled here, although I had been receiving commissions since 2007," he says. "My first blessed work was a terracotta image of St. Benedict Abbot bishop."
