Pez Pintor, 2022

Miquel Aparici  

Miquel Aparici’s sculptures are surprising assemblages made from old objects that had other uses in the past, and which the artist recovers and uses in a creative and ingenious way. The result is an original collection of unusual animals that test our imagination and invite us to discover the elements that make up each piece, in a fun game of observation requiring the complicity of the viewer.

“Pez Pintor” (Painter Fish) is a perfect confluence of form and function, brilliantly combining rustic and innovative design. Crafted from wood and metal, it resembles a whimsical yet sophisticated fish. The piece features a carved wooden base, supporting a metallic "fin" on one side and an elegantly curved "tail" on the other. The geometric precision of the metal ridges suggests movement, while the wooden elements convey a warm, organic quality. Its minimalist style and inventive use of materials create an intriguing contrast that captivates the eye. The sculpture, poised on a sleek stand, invites the viewer to explore themes of transformation and balance. This artwork is not just a visual delight but a testament to the Aparici's ingenuity in transforming everyday materials into a narrative of elegance and uniqueness.
