It is one of several works that sculptor Amancio González has left in the city, although on this occasion it is not the result of a Symposium, but rather the outcome of another initiative closely related to the event: a Metal Sculpture Workshop. In 2015, corten and stainless steel were the protagonists of the IX Sculpture Symposium of the capital, and with the leftover materials the City Council decided to carry out a sculpture workshop. Thus, for two weeks, a group of residents from the capital's neighborhood and art students learned to work with metal in the best way: creating a sculpture under the attentive gaze of Amancio González as instructor. The result was this magnificent salto del pastor, with the characteristic design of the León sculptor's "Deconstructions," but with the hand of 15 young people who will always be able to say they contributed their grain of sand to this Sculpture Park that continues to grow: Jesús Carrasco, Martel Sirma Castellano Fernández, Jonathan Casto Herrera, María de la Cruz Socorro, Giorgos Gareth Christou, José González López, Sofía Lorenzo Mederos, Lucía Montesdeoca Guedes, Sarah Perdomo, Victoria Sanz Lorenzo, Alejandro Soto González and Sergio del Toro Valido. It is a special work both for how it came about and for the tradition that inspires it and gives it its name: the Salto del Pastor, or Brinco Canario, a practice widely spread among shepherds throughout the archipelago, who used long wooden poles (known as lanza, astia or lata, among other names) to move more easily through ravines, cliffs, precipices, or any irregular and abrupt terrain that so characterizes the islands. It is a way of working that is practically unique in the world, transmitted from generation to generation and which, although today it is no longer practiced as in the past, remains a treasure of incalculable value as a legacy from our ancestors. Here, in the El Charco neighborhood, it already enjoys a permanent tribute with this sculpture in which a stainless steel shepherd leaps from a steep corten steel cliff with the same determination as our ancestors.
