About this item: Mexico's Armando Ramírez achieves an enviable feat as he recycles nuts and bolts into a vivid sculpture. He conjures the image of a man sitting on a bench, leisurely reading the paper with his dog by his side. Ramírez transforms a regular sparkplug into the man's body. His head is made from a discarded piece off a die machine and his hat is made with discarded pieces off a die machine. The dog's body is made with parts with wires and a car's clutch, while it's ears are made from die pieces. The bench is made from the discarded pieces off a die machine. Please note it is the artist's intention not to give his sculptures a fine polished finish, therefore smudges and scratches may be present. - Features a rustic, rugged finish About our Artist: Born in a Mexican town famed for its traditional artistry, Armando Ramirez dreamed of creating something new. 'As a child I enjoyed inventing toys, and soon yearned to create a unique style of art. Environmentally enamored, I now transform recycled goods. I began to craft figures from scrap and discarded mechanical parts, mostly from cars and bicycles. Thanks to the creativity that God gave me, today I have an enjoyable and better way of life.'
