Artist Statement:
To not be confined to what I can see in a model before me, but rather to have the command to create what I know. This is the essence of a good sculptor. FRANCO CASTELLUCCIO
The Immortal-Ludwig Van Beethoven
Sculpture has been a lifelong pursuit rooted in both technical mastery and creative vision. Raised in Newark, New Jersey, I discovered my passion for sculpting as a teenager and quickly recognized the importance of a strong foundation in anatomy and draftsmanship. I refined these skills at the Art Students League in New York City, studying under Robert Beverly Hale and Michael Burban.
My artistic mission is clear: to create sculpture that resonates universally—transcending boundaries of race, gender, and culture. Recognition by institutions, universities, and collectors worldwide has been meaningful, but the true measure of my work lies in its ability to speak to people across generations.
