A tribute in bronze and marble: a local poet's drawing comes to life

A tribute in bronze and marble: a local poet's drawing comes to life

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

Ave Quiromántica, located in the Centre Historic District of Malaga, Spain, is a creation by Malaga sculptor José Seguiri. The sculpture, inaugurated on May 21, 2001, is a tribute to local poet Rafael Pérez Estrada. It depicts a half-dove and half-open hand, inspired by a drawing by Pérez Estrada. Made of bronze and resting on a marble pedestal, Ave Quiromántica is a lasting tribute to the local poet's work.
