El diestro, Bronze sculpture in Oviedo, Spain.

El Diestro is a bronze sculpture distinguished by a blend of abstract and figurative elements, standing approximately three meters tall. The metallic form shows how the artist combined geometric shapes with organic curves.

Miguel Ortiz Berrocal created this sculpture during his artistic development between 1967 and 2004. During this period he worked with art foundries in Verona, Italy, which shaped his craftsmanship and material techniques.

The name refers to skill and mastery, reflecting how artists express their abilities through material form. Visitors can observe how the bronze form translates mathematical principles into visible structures.

The sculpture sits on paved pathways with plenty of space around it, allowing views from different angles. Wheelchair users and visitors with mobility limitations can freely access and view the work without barriers.

The work can be disassembled into separate independent pieces, a revolutionary technique Berrocal patented. This feature allows visitors not just to view the sculptural form but also to understand its inner construction.
