“I live in Miami, which allows me to be close to my studio and be present in each of the processes and the execution of each of my pieces, both in medium-sized sculptures and monumental ones, paying attention and working personally on every detail,” he comments in an exclusive interview for Miami Living. A lover of surfing and biking, Ignacio leaves his free time to enjoy nature and draw inspiration from the architecture and numerous museums in the city. “I decided to make Miami my headquarters, staying halfway between Europe, New York, and Los Angeles, places where I am regularly traveling between exhibitions, workshops, museums, and art galleries,” he notes. Today, Ignacio has become an artistic reference, with his collections moving through galleries around the world. He has received all kinds of recognition, including “Artist of the Year” at the Latin Grammy Awards, which helped position his work as the main object of desire for important galleries, museums, and collectors around the world. “This award places my career at the highest level of the arts circuit in the United States; it is one of the most recognized distinctions in the entertainment world alongside the Oscars. Being chosen as artist of the year marked a before and after in my artistic career. For me, it was very exciting, an honor, and a great recognition of my work,” he stated.
