Juan Manuel "Turkish" Mendez, is self born in San Gregorio de Polanco, a small town on the banks of Black River Tacuarembó department in Uruguay.

Fisherman by profession, his art is so casual, collecting wood and roots that the river "HUM" gives, almost naively ventures into a mystical world full of vigor, strength and drama.

The Indian faces appear and are repeated, are a regain identity of the first settlers of the land Charruas.

His works are always closely related with protection of natural habitat it shares with its people, is driving the various movements for the preservation of river sand.

"We must stop the hand" is one of the sculptures are located on the shores of the Black River, carved from the trunk of a tree, "the big hand tells us that the Time stops to think again.

The "March of Utopias" is another of the premises being conducted by the "Styling Workshop on Hum", which he founded and shared with a number of friends and local artists.

His work deserves to be appreciated, admire and share with her ideal of conservation, perhaps Méndez with his work teaches us that men and their habitat are made for each other and that the destruction of one leads to the same fate of another.
