His works are represented in well-known museums and private collections worldwide. Miguel Berrocal can only be properly understood through the knowledge of his Spanish origin. His life, thinking and work is deeply rooted in the artistic traditions of his homeland. He proudly and consciously carried the artistic heritage of Spain within himself. So it is no coincidence that Berrocal has become addicted to the material iron, because the Spanish art of blacksmithing has a long-standing and widespread tradition since the Middle Ages. While Berrocal's early sculptures were abstract, later he created anthropomorphic forms. From this turn to the human body, his personal and most unique artificial figure developed, the torso. This reduced form of the human body runs through all of Berrocal's pictorial work, often altered, simplified or enriched, falsified and modified.
