DESCRIPTION OF THE WORK

Alejandro Rueda carries out all sorts of stone works such as coats of arms, fountains, sculptures, bas-reliefs, washing places, etc. 

He uses different types of stone including marble and slate. 

He usually carves his pieces using traditional tools, such as maces, chisels, tooth chisels, bull point chisels, hand tracers, bush hammers, toothed stone axes, etc. He also uses the radial saw and the pneumatic hammer to carry out the roughing of certain pieces. 

The two techniques he uses for sculpture works are direct carving and the pointing technique. 

He also carries out stereotomy works such as arches, vaults, spiral staircases, etc. 

He also works in the restoration of heritage regarding stone, as well as in traditional dwellings and unique buildings. The restoration works tend to include the substitution of stone pieces, cleaning and consolidating stone pieces, reconstructing others with mortar, imitating stone, etc.
