---

Reina Mariana is Manolo Valdés’ most outstanding sculptural series. The change in morphology and meaning that occurs throughout Valdés’ representations of Velázquez’s image can be seen in this work. The artist re-contextualizes Diego Velázquez’s Queen Mariana (1652-1653), a highly recognisable portrait of the second wife of Felipe IV.
