Lately, López has been devoting much of his time to sculpture and, specifically, to sculpted heads of his grandchildren. For López, such heads are almost like snapshots: "I work on them as the children grow—always using sculpture, never painting—until I see they've grown too much (this happens so quickly) and then I begin another." He has rendered two of them on a monumental scale, resembling—in their meditative calm—the great Buddha at Kamakura. One of the heads has its eyes open, while the other's eyes are closed.
