Details

Fairly dancing to the beat, a drummer pounds fast rhythms on his drums. Shining cymbals seem to vibrate in this delightful sculpture. Armando Ramírez transforms recycled automobile parts into a rustic work of art. His body is shaped from a spark plug, his arms from thick wires. The drum set is shaped from discarded pieces off a die machine.

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

“cherished gift for my grandson”

I was amazed at the quality and work that went into this piece. I must say that I expected something tinnier and smaller. This is so well crafted and unique that it will be hard to let it go. I love it, but it will go to my grandson.

“Can't Wait To Give It To My Son”

I fell in love with this online as my son is a drummer and I know he will love it too. I am keeping it until his Bday in May (if I can stand it) so his review will appear after that.

Joy admiring it! Eclectic and beautiful.

“So unique and great detail and craftsmanship”

I first purchased a piece of Armondos metal recycled art here in the US at Christmas village, it is a holiday outdoor village market, that they have for about a month only during the holidays. It is a village of different cultures/nationalities, from all over the world. I bought an upcycled Motorcycle piece. Unfortunately all I have is a photo of the box, with the picture of the item on it. As I gave it to someone as a gift. It was just so unique, the perfect gift for whom I was purchasing it for. Fast forward I returned to the Christmas village yearly looking for his stuff again, but to my sadness he was not there. About two years ago, I found his art work here on Novica and purchased another piece(Truck Cab) for a gift. Again the gift was a hit, the person loved it, and its uniqueness, that no 2 are really the same, because they are hand crafted. I am a big Fan of Armondos upcycled art.
