Caballo III, 2026

Miquel Aparici  

Miquel Aparici employs a meticulous assemblage technique to transform discarded wood and metal into a spirited animal figure. The composition relies on a refined simplicity. Clean lines and a balanced silhouette grant the piece an innate elegance. 
The body is crafted from a grid of small wooden tiles. These pale segments create a rhythmic texture across the horse's flank. A smooth saddle rests atop the back, adding a touch of narrative grace. The contrast between the light body and the deep reddish-brown tones of the head and tail adds visual depth. 
Every element invites close observation. The viewer is encouraged to identify the original fragments of old utensils and found objects that now form a cohesive whole. This interplay between the mundane and the artistic sparks a sense of wonder. The figure stands firmly on a raw wooden plinth. This earthy base grounds the whimsical nature of the creature. The artwork celebrates the beauty of repurposing through a sophisticated, three-dimensional lens. It captures a moment of stillness and strength through the strategic arrangement of geometric wooden blocks.
