“Masterwork in Flame” – Hand-Tooled Copper Sculpture

Towering and richly textured, Masterwork in Flame is an award-winning, hand-tooled copper sculpture by master artisan José Agustín Ángel Castro. Standing over six feet tall and weighing more than 56 lbs., this piece is a powerful tribute to Michoacán’s legendary copperworking tradition. Castro’s sculpture blends ancient technique with contemporary scale — every hammer mark a reflection of time, fire, and craftsmanship. It commands space with warmth and gravity, making it ideal for galleries, institutions, or private collectors of monumental artisan works.
