Apart from his sculptures, Miguel Ortiz Berrocal was also a musician, composer, and writer. He collaborated with artists like Joan Baez and published works on art and philosophy. Throughout his life, Berrocal received numerous awards and accolades for his contribution to contemporary art, and his work continues to influence many artists and collectors worldwide.
