Details

Brave and noble, a samurai wields his mighty sword ready to attack. Armando Ramirez masterfully replicates the legendary warrior's helmet by recycling a bicycle chain and a discarded metal sphere. The samurai wears the traditional uniform, which Ramirez crafts with discarded pieces off a die machine. Thick wires become the arms and limbs of this vivid sculpture, while the sword is crafted with recycled metal sheets.

"RUSTIC SAMURAI II"

an absolutely beautiful piece, & well made. its hard to imagine having the talent it takes to see random pieces of metal & being able to turn it into something like this. it will be a gift for my father-in-law & there is no doubt he will love it. its a perfect gift for anyone into Asian culture, martial arts, or just like having that unique eye catching item as a conversation piece.

"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.

"She love it"

Luckily, I found this beauty surfing the web looking for a gift for my wife for our 6-year anniversary. THIS SCULPTURE IS PERFECT since I work in a metal recycling company and our first outings were to parks.
