Miquel Aparici

Miquel Aparici’s sculptures are a wild reflection of his endless imagination.
 
He sees life in the most inanimate, unloved, forgotten objects. With his unique vision, Aparici unites tractor seats, table legs and motorcycle bodywork with antique treasures to create believable species from the animal kingdom. Although he has a particular love of dogs, he has turned his eye to most animals, from a life size elephant, to birds, insects and fish, producing over 400 ingenious sculptures.
 

Having studied at the esteemed Escola Massana. Center of Art and Design, Aparici stayed in the world of art, setting up his own design studio. He then went on to the position of Art Director at publications, El Jueves, and National Geographic Spain.

 
Currently this Barcelona artist has work exhibited in Istanbul, Mallorca and Barcelona. A curated selection of his sculptures, inspired by the animals sculpted by Gaudí, were shown at La Sagrada Familia Temple in 2005. His pieces have also featured in The Barcelona Museum of Natural History and the Natural History Museum in Madrid.
