Seated on a tree stump, Don Quixote reads a book. Armando Ramirez depicts the beloved character from Miguel de Cervantes' 17th century novel, sculpting the idealistic knight from recycled metal. Sheet metal scraps, a spark plug, screws and wire all find a new life in this handcrafted sculpture.
The artisan does not give his works a fine polished finish, therefore smudges and scratches may be present.

"Conversation Starter"
'Quixote Reads Cervantes'- the name is as whimsical as the sculpture. It is very well done, and quite charming to look at. I loved all of the different materials he used to create this piece. Absolutely wonderful.

"Love this artist!!"
We now have at least 4-5 pieces from Armando Ramirez. His talent is phenomenal! This was purchased for our youngest son to hang his car keys and Covid mask on,in his room. This was one of those gifts that is soooo hard to let go of and actually give away. I would love one of just about everything of Armando Ramirez ,we have his amazing deer sculpture that has a place for a votive candle and it is hands down my most favorite piece of art!! Highly recommend getting something from this amazing artist ! His small people sculptures have made charming gifts through the years but his larger work is absolutely exquisite!!!

"Clever auto part sculpture"
I bought one of these pediatricians for my nephew who is a pediatrician. He loves it and told me it is very cute.I also bought one for my personal doctor. She loves hers, too.Armando Ramirez is very creative--a true artisan.. I have bought several of his sculptures and have loved every one of them and so have the peopleI have given them to.. I turned the Barber sculpture into a Retinologist giving an eye injection. When I look at them, they do not seem like they are made out of scrap auto parts. All I see is a delightful showpiece.
