A painter and sculptor from Soria with heightened artistic sensibility and consummate skill in handling material, Mazariegos’s style could be placed somewhere between postmodernism and neo-
. With his work he is able to make the spectator tingle with emotion, transporting him to an imaginary world where anything is possible by means of chiselling curves, folds and fantasy forms.
 
In the case of Arquero bailarín and Movimiento, both dated in the same year, he uses bronze as his material of choice to capture a dreamlike world. The dancing archer is transformed into a fantasy magical character that seems to be caught in a dancing movement charged with sensibility. With regards Movimiento, the figure is barely recognisable, opening outwards in a movement full of vitality.
 
Figurafrom 1978 is masterfully carved in wood to give form to what might appear to be a woman with sensual curves and forms in a wanton pose.
