Details

After a hike across desert landscapes, a man relaxes in the scant shade of a saguaro cactus in this whimsical sculpture. Armando Ramírez crafts the image from an amazing assortment of recycled metal and automobile parts. Sheet metal scraps, a spark plug, washers, die-cut scraps and wire all find a new life in this unique sculpture.

The artisan does not give his sculptures a fine polished finish, therefore smudges and scratches may be present.

“Metal ingenuity.”

I absolutely love this piece. It sits on my desk, always in sight. There is a realness, somehow, to him. I have my eye on several other pieces by Armando Ramirez for seasonal gifts for my daughters. This is a clever artist cleverly using re-purposed materials.

It makes me smile - and meditate on the nuances of this Rustic Relaxer

“So unique and great detail and craftsmanship”

I first purchased a piece of Armondos metal recycled art here in the US at Christmas village, it is a holiday outdoor village market, that they have for about a month only during the holidays. It is a village of different cultures/nationalities, from all over the world. I bought an upcycled Motorcycle piece. Unfortunately all I have is a photo of the box, with the picture of the item on it. As I gave it to someone as a gift. It was just so unique, the perfect gift for whom I was purchasing it for. Fast forward I returned to the Christmas village yearly looking for his stuff again, but to my sadness he was not there. About two years ago, I found his art work here on Novica and purchased another piece(Truck Cab) for a gift. Again the gift was a hit, the person loved it, and its uniqueness, that no 2 are really the same, because they are hand crafted. I am a big Fan of Armondos upcycled art.
