La inspiración vino al recordar un relieve asirio del siglo VII a. C, titulado "la leona herida", que muestra a una leona herida de muerte, arrastrando sus patas traseras, pero aún manteniendo una actitud de fiereza, de lucha. La importancia de este relieve radica en que fue uno de las primeras manifestaciones escultóricas en la que la figura comienza a mostrar un sentimiento, una actitud, alejándose de la representación rígida, típica de la época egipcia. Esta es pues mi representación de aquella leona rugiente, pero en este caso centrándome en el detalle de su cabeza, la cual es a tamaño natural (tamaño medio) realizada en acero de 2mm de grosor y conformada con martillo, en frío. La obra pretende mostrar la fiereza de este animal a través de su gesto agresivo con apertura de sus fauces, que permiten apreciar las dimensiones y forma de sus colmillos. Peana de madera de cedro. Obra única

José Miguel was born in Granada on August 15th, 1979, into a nature-loving family. Influenced by the work of Félix Rodríguez de la Fuente, he joined nature observation groups, where he discovered his special passion for birds of prey. He put his dreams of studying biology aside, instead opting for a degree with broader career prospects – IT. He worked in this field for years, however he always maintained an underlying love of art. This drove him to enroll at the Granada School of Art, while kept on working. After two years of artistic studies, during which he learned a lot about different sculptural techniques, he won first prize at the Robles Pozo Foundation competition with his final exhibition piece “Chrysaetos”. This encouraged him to continue his artistic studies at Granada University of Fine Arts. After finishing his degree, for professional reasons, art was put on hold. It wasn’t until many years later that his family would publish some of the pieces that José Miguel had done during his university period on social media. Seeing the interest that his work aroused, both nationally and internationally, was a turning point for the artist and he decided to embark on the adventure of making his two passions (sculpture and fauna) his way of life.
