Patxi Xabier Lezama Perier
Classical Surrealism Sculpture
About
Patxi Xabier Lezama Perier, born on June 20, 1967, in Zalla, Bizkaia (Vizcaya), Spain, is a prominent Basque sculptor and writer. Raised in a town renowned for its rich popular culture, mythology, superstitions, witches, and witchcraft—where locals are called warlocks—he grew up immersed in this mystical environment, which profoundly shaped his artistic vision. Over more than three decades, he has become one of the most representative and innovative figures in contemporary Basque sculpture, part of a generation born and raised with the magic of Basque mythology.[1][2][3][4][8]
