Las Meninas are porcelain sculptures made in four different versions that are distinguished by their decoration and style; Reina Mariana I, II, III and IV. During his early visit to the Prado Museum in Madrid, Manolo Valdés discovered two famous paintings by Diego Velázquez, which would come to be his primary inspiration for the Las Meninas; The Portrait of Mariana de Austria (1652-53) and Las Meninas (1656). From the beginning of his works in art school until now, Valdés has never ceased to reimagine this figure with its recognizable feminine charm in different styles and mediums. Valdés’ decors for Las Meninas porcelain sculptures draws inspiration from a broad range of artists – Joan Miró, Willem De Kooning, Sonia Delaunay, Fernand Léger, Roy Lichtenstein and his own work.
