Description:

ALMOST 4FT TALL! Sergio Bustamante (Born 1949) "En Busca De La Razon" (In Search of Reason) Bronze Sculpture. Bustamante's most famous works are his bronze sculptures, which often feature his trademark triangular-faced humanoids. En Busca de la Razón (“In Search of Reason”), is undoubtedly his most recognizable Puerto Vallarta installation. The sculpture depicts two children climbing a tall ladder while their frantic mother begs them to come down. Sergio is a Mexican artist and sculptor best known for his colorful surrealist papier-mache, bronze, and mixed media sculptures. A world traveler, Bustamante has lived in Amsterdam, Mexico, and the United States. His art is inspired by his favorite science fiction writing from his childhood as well as the art of his native Mexico. The piece was inaugurated in 1999 and is located on Puerto Vallarta’s famous Malecon, or pier. Standing at almost 30 feet (9 meters) high, the sculpture invites audience interaction, and countless tourists have climbed the ladder to have their photos taken alongside it.
