In Malaga, a sculptor's homage to a local poet's drawing takes form in the heart of the city.

Ave Quiromántica is a creation by Malaga sculptor José Seguiri. The sculpture, inaugurated in May 2001, is a tribute to local poet Rafael Pérez Estrada. It is located on Bolsa Street in the city of Malaga.

The sculpture depicts a half-dove and half-open hand, inspired by a drawing by Pérez Estrada. It is made of bronze and rests on a marble pedestal.

Ave Quiromántica is a lasting tribute to the local poet's work.
