About this item

"This magnificent mantis springs to life from the salvaged bones of automobiles, a creature of pure intention poised on elongated limbs with its forelegs raised and nails dangling from their grasp like trophies of the hunt. Designed by Mexico's Pablo Cisneros, this eco-conscious creation transforms industrial waste into a sculpture that embodies both menace and grace, the kind of object that demands a second look from anyone passing by your desk or shelf. Every bolt, every welded joint, every repurposed component speaks to the alchemy of upcycling: taking what was destined for the scrapyard and forging it into something that captures the raw intelligence and predatory elegance of one of nature's most calculating and awe-inspiring creatures."

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.

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.
