Details

This charming recycled metal figurine captures a chiropractor at work on a patient laying flat on a table. Mexican artisan Armando Ramirez designs and welds the figurine from hand-selected scrap metal from a variety of Mexican automotive, industrial and construction waste sites. "The process involves selecting recycled items that can be used," says Ramirez. "I separate and soak them in a cleaning solution to remove any impurities, and solder them together until I achieve my design. Then I give it a protective coat of glossy varnish." Each piece of the sculpture is recycled and unique, with some parts oxidized to providing a rustic charm.

“A Gift for my retiring Chiropractor”

This was a well received gift that was unique and actually very active since it is demonstrating the kinesiology techniques that my doctor uses regularly.

“Recycled Beauty”

My wife after receiving this piece immediately placed it on your office desk. She was just stunned that this was even achievable, let alone doable. Thank you for such outstanding craftsmanship.

“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.
