Novica works together with talented artists, artisans, and designers around the world to produce stunning, keepsake handmade treasures.About this item: Hard at work, this miner exemplifies Mexico's storied mining legacy. Armando Ramírez crafts the sculpture with great dexterity, envisioning scrap pieces of metal as different body parts and accessories. For example, a spark plug is transformed into the miner's body and wires become the arms and feet as well as the pick axe on his shoulder. Pieces off a die machine are used to shape the helmet and boots. His vest is made from mosquito netting and the rock came from a die machine. The artisan does not give his sculptures a fine polished finish, therefore smudges and scratches may be present.Each work is unique. Recycled parts will vary from piece to piece based on availability.|Features a rustic, rugged finish|Hand-crafted item -- color, size and/or motif may vary slightly|Promotes recycling and reduces wasteAbout our Artist: Born in a Mexican town famed for its traditional artistry, Armando Ramirez dreamed of creating something new. 'As a I enjoyed inventing toys, and soon yearned to create a unique style of art. Environmentally enamored, I now transform recycled goods. I began to craft figures from scrap and discarded mechanical parts, mostly from cars and bicycles. Thanks to the creativity that God gave me, today I have an enjoyable and better way of life.'
