A little piece of the Oscar award has Salamanca origins and its own name, that of Tomás Jr., who is part of that art team that has won a statuette for the film ‘Frankenstein’. The ‘Best Production Design’ went to Guillermo del Toro’s film, more specifically to Tamara Deverell, thus recognizing a spectacular work of art and design with which the man from Salamanca collaborated.

On this occasion, the work of the artist from Salamanca was to design and create the reading cards, each one with a letter of the alphabet, with which the grandfather teaches his granddaughter to read. Some original letters, full of symbology and with that characteristic stamp left by the engravings of Tomás Jr. that could be seen in the cabin scene. A work that is part of a great whole and a great staging that has achieved one of the most important awards in the film industry.
It is the second time that Tomas Jr. collaborates with a Guillermo del Toro film that reaches the Oscars. His first collaboration was with the ‘Tarot del Toro’ that he designed for the film Nightmare Alley or The Alley of Lost Souls, which was also nominated for this same category at the 2022 Oscars although it did not win the statuette. A tarot that was liked so much that it has been commercialized, joining the other tarots designed by the man from Salamanca such as the Lord of the Rings, the House of Dragon or the Labyrinth.
