According to the journal El País[1] Garaizabal is one of the most internationally renowned Spanish artists. The most visible part of his works are his monumental public sculptures.

Initially a conceptual artist, a large part of his work has been done by hand, using such techniques as forging, carpentry, electricity, plasticity, and masonry – all skills acquired through time and experimentation. As of 2008, his main studio is in Berlin, Germany, although he maintains another in Madrid, Spain and a third one in Miami, United States.
