When Ariel and his family returned to live in Navarre and his close and intimate relationship with natural stone and quarries began, which provided him with his first artistic inspiration. Ariel is a contemporary artist who relies on an ancestral artistic tradition to the delight of collectors who have already crossed his path. His energy and his desire to create always push him to go further. Two artistic lines stand out: pure and contemporary Corten steel or traditional. Ariel says: Design is a fundamental part of the conception of sculpture and artistic creation, pushing towards the search for aesthetic forms and balances, in which steel and natural stone create a united body and in a correct distribution of loads and weights. Then, inspiration does the rest, based on the experience of the road traveled and in relation to other previous creations of sculptures in Corten steel and steel, combined with the recycled natural stone that I find in the waste of my works, production or my quarries. I bend my sculptures by hand and cold, it allows me to feel the material, also my physical limits, I work outdoors, in contact with nature, which helps me to be inspired, to finally find that marriage between steel and natural stone. I create a varied universe of sculptures in natural stone, Corten steel and painted steel, according to my imagination towards that place where my ideas about models and preliminary artistic drawing projects lead me, by which I orient the conception of the contemporary sculpture I am trying to create.
