Asturcones, Bronze sculpture in Oviedo, Spain.
The Asturcones sculpture stands as a large bronze creation displaying the form of horses, representing the native Asturian breed through angular shapes.
Created by Spanish artist Manolo Valdés, who began his career in Valencia during the 1960s and later co-founded the influential Equipo Crónica group.
The sculpture pays tribute to the Asturcon horses, a small and hardy breed that has lived in the Cantabrian Mountains since ancient times.
Located in a public space with wheelchair accessibility, the sculpture provides an opportunity for visitors to examine the bronze work from multiple angles.
The surface texture of the bronze displays Valdés's signature technique of combining rough and smooth areas to create visual contrasts in the material.
