The work of this sculptor from Asturias demonstrates a heightened ability to assimilate different styles. One can note for instance an evident evolution in his study of matter, first of all as an apprentice at the workshops of major sculptors and then later when he opened his own casting workshop where he produced a prolific quantity of excellent artisan pieces. The artist then moved away from industrial work to concentrate instead on artistic sculptures.
 
His style evolved from his beginnings in figuration, close to the style of Henry Moore (1898-1986), gradually moving towards abstraction based on his experimentation with materials and the interrelationship between solid material and the void. He was capable of using any materials that came to hand, handling them with consummate control, be it stone, wood, bronze, concrete, plastic or resin. Likewise, he employed them in all kinds of works, from monumental pieces to multiples, leaving good evidence of his great creativity and artistic versatility. As a sculptor, he believed in the personal engagement with the spectator and the need to convey, through his works, the idea that materials are vehicles through which to transmit a message.
 
This bronze piece was made in 1994 for El Punto de las Artes, as a trophy to be awarded by this association to Argentaria for its proven commitment to culture and the arts. The piece maintains a perfect poise between mass and emptiness. The two rising curves are intertwined at the top over a perfectly modelled woman’s head that contrasts with the abstraction of the rest of the piece. The balanced finish is perfectly executed.
 
A few years earlier, in the late eighties, he had designed the bust of Goya for the most famous and sought-after statuette in the Spanish film industry.
