Eco-Friendly Recycled Metal Guitar Player Figurine 'Guitar Star' Item ID: 2677079176

Hi, how are you? I'm Edmundo Cisneros. My father, Bibiano Cisneros, has a workshop for artistic wrought iron. From the time I was a boy I began to learn about his work. My dad would take me with him sometimes, and explain how things were done. Eventually, I surpassed my teacher! Not even my father could craft some of the things I did. So we made a great team. He was the number one teacher, and I was the number two, even though I was the youngest in the shop.

Whenever I saw scraps of metal, I would play around with them to see what I could make. That is how I began creating designs from recycled materials. There was an automotive garage nearby, and they'd save scraps for me. Shoppers seemed to like my designs, and so I began to craft more recycled works.

As time went by, I've continued innovating, creating, and evolving until I've formed different collections, such as my vehicle collection. It is comprised of trains, motorcycles, cars, and such, and I really like it.

The process begins with selecting the scraps I want to use. I clean and prepare them, and then my imagination takes off. I weld and solder various parts together, giving form to my ideas. Finally, I coat each finished work in lacquer to protect it.

Today I divide my time between my father's wrought iron decorative work, and my own sculpture collections. Artistically, I dedicate all my work to the people I love most - my family.
