This motorcycle of classic inspiration is built by Armando Ramirez from an intriguing collection of recycled metal pieces, some extracted from cars. The tires are bearings from a car's electrical system and the hubcaps are electric coils. The motorbike's fuel tank was once a rocker arm from an automotive ignition. The engine is shaped from a cogwheel as well as a timing chain.

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

Armando Ramírez's artistic vision permits him to see a different reality in discarded automotive parts and scrap metal. Transforming them into sculptures, he portrays a jazz musician with his trombone. A spark plug forms the body while wire and metal scraps complete the piece.

In this whimsical sculpture from Mexico, a human figure rides a bicycle that floats in the air via a parachute. Armando Ramirez carefully handcrafts this sculpture with a passion for converting upcycled metal; bike chain creatively forms the bicycle's wheels, as the human figure and parachute are crafted from nuts, bolts, screws, rebar, and other pieces of scrap metal, treated with a rustic finish. This sculpture is displayed atop a round base.
