The three metre high bronze faces are of sculptor Antonio Lopez's grand-daughter.
Spanish sculptor Antonio López says he is very excited to see his 2,000 kilo bronze sculptures of two babies faces, ‘Día’ and ‘Noche’ placed in the Atocha railway station in Madrid to welcome travellers on the high speed AVE train. The baby is in fact his grand-daughter, awake and asleep.

The idea of working with the Ministry of Development and RENFE started in 2002 when plans were being drawn up to modernise and re-design the station.

The three metre high pieces are the first the 72 year old artist has installed in a public place. He says he hopes that passengers on the train will enjoy their welcome.
