Iron sculpture, 'Rustic Swan Lake'

Armando Ramirez recycles auto parts and scrap metal for his original version of the "Swan Lake" pas de deux. Prince Siegfried follows Odette as she leaps through the air, her strong legs in grand jeté under her tutu, once the crown of an ignition coil. The dancers' bodies are shaped with springs as well as with parts of a car's ignition and electrical systems. Ramirez uses cogs for the dancers' heads and spiraling wires for their legs.

Please note it is the artist's intention not to give his sculptures a fine polished finish, therefore smudges and scratches may be present.

"Hi, I'm Armando Ramírez. All my life, I've lived in a town of artisans, and this has motivated me to create new art. As a child I enjoyed inventing toys, and soon yearned to create a unique style of art. Environmentally enamored, I now transform recycled goods.”

"At first, little by little, I began to craft figures from scraps and discarded mechanical parts – mostly from cars and bicycles. And so I began to create sculptures, soldering the pieces together and giving them shape as I imagined they should look.

"The process involves selecting recycled items that can be used. I separate them and soak them in a cleaning solution to remove any impurities. I solder them together until I achieve my design, then I give it a protective coat of glossy varnish.

"My sculptures are so successful that today I sell only my own works. They are rustic in nature, designed to recycle discarded objects by converting them into art. Thanks to the creativity that God gave me, today I have an enjoyable and better way of life."
