Sculpture, Metal on Steel
Size: 17.7 W x 12.6 H x 6.3 D in
Ships in a Crate
Esta obra fue finalista en el prestigioso concurso internacional de arte “Wildlife Artist of the Year” de la fundación DSWF y BBC Magazine en 2021. En 2017 tuve la suerte de poder visitar las cuevas de "Tito Bustillo" de Ribadesella (Asturias), y quedé fascinado con las representaciones pictóricas ecuestres que aún se conservan. Tiempo después las cuevas de "Altamira" en Santillana del Mar (Cantabria) y sus bisontes, ciervos y caballos, los cuales suponen las primeras muestras del arte paleolítico, que fueron pintados durante milenios. Desde entonces deseé hacer mi propia representación de uno de aquellos bisontes y este fue el resultado. Se trata de una representación figurativa y sintética de un bisonte americano en "scrap metal art" dado que fue hecho con restos de cortes de lámina de acero, lo cual la hace una pieza única. Como base una piedra caliza con un fósil incrustado, en alusión y recuerdo de una época tan remota.

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.
