06 June 2017 - 00: 38

Miguel Ángel Miguel García is a young xabiero who is professionally dedicated to the pruning of trees, but his profession makes his hobbie and his passion. Since always, what has liked Miguel is to draw, "I remember when I was little that I woke up when my parents slept to draw and paint".

But this Xabiero has taken his hobby further, "Looking at the internet I saw the sculptures made with trees and I thought, I must prove this", he pointed. And so it has been. What started four years ago as something small continues but with more. "The first sculpture I made was a two-span Japanese for my sister and from there, I was testing, making more details and I have already made around 20 sculptures made", Stressed Miguel García.

And it is that, to Michelangelo, inspiration and imagination travel alone, "Sometimes cutting a tree I see that the form gives me for certain things and I keep, like I do figures, that furniture, in fact, for a client I have made a table mixing logs and iron", Said the Xabiero.

The park of Pinosol

Undoubtedly, Miguel Ángel Miguel's star project is the work he is currently doing in the Pinosol park. 20 sculptures will adorn and enhance the burned image of this recreational area of ​​Xàbia. After the fire, "I came up with the idea of ​​making figures in the trees of this area, I spoke with the municipal biologist and they accepted my proposal, I marked the widest pines that I observed so that they were not cut and from there I am working"He said.

Without a premeditated idea, the xabiero sculpts in the trunk of the trees different sculptures. At the moment, a woodpecker and a pelican are the two figures that appear in the forest of Pinosol. "Just seeing the tree I see the figures that I can make, so I get the inspiration and the tip of the chainsaw is the pencil", Remarca Miguel.

Crosses of the Feasts of the Nazarene

Although most of his works are privately displayed, in the gardens of private properties, his art has been seen this year by a large part of the public in the festivals of the Nazarene of Xàbia. Miguel Angel made a sculpture of Jesus Nazarene on the cross to mark the 250 anniversary of the arrival of the image to the locality.

For next year already has volunteered to exhibit a great sculpture in one of the most visited acts of the feasts in honor of Jesus Nazareno as is the exhibition of the May crosses. "Most of the figures I have made have been totems, faces and animals, doing something different is also a personal challenge, and for the future I plan to make a life-size sculpture, specifically, a giraffe", Said this sculptor.

Waiting to see their projects and how not, the figures that will change the image of one of the most visited leisure areas of Xàbia. Pinosol will be different thanks to the sculptures of this artist xabiero.
