Contemporary Italian-born artist Lorenzo Quinn is a reference in current figurative sculpture. His works are inspired by artists such asMichelangelo, Bernini and Rodin.Lorenzo has exhibited his work in several countries of the world and his most monumental and public works, as well as his smallest and most intimate pieces, convey his passion for imperishable values and authentic emotions. The artist is specially known for his expressive sculptural representations of human hands. "I wanted to sculpt the part of the human body considered most difficult, from a technical point of view," says the artist. In the hands lies so much power: to love, to hate, to create, to destroy ...” Son of Mexican-American actor Anthony Quinn and Iolanda Addolori, Lorenzo Quinn was born on May 7, 1966 in Rome and his life has passed between Italy and the United States. Attracted initially by surrealist painting, Lorenzo Quinn studied at the American Academy of Fine Arts in New York. However, with 21 years he decided that his future was in sculpture, an art in which he could fully capture all his energy and originality. Lorenzo vividly recalls the moment in which he felt that he had created his first work of art: “It was in 1989. He had sculpted a torso from a drawing of Adam by Michelangelo, an artisan work… I had an idea and started modelling, and Eve emerged from Adam's body. It all started as a purely academic exercise that eventually became a work of art.” Lorenzo's works are present in private collections around the world and have been part of numerous international exhibitions over the past thirty years. Among his commissions is the sculpture The Tree of Life, created for the United Nations, Empowerment, used as The Duke of Edinburgh’s International Award, in representation of offering young people new opportunities, and thus empowering them to grow and feel their worth. He has also made numerous public sculptures such as Support, presented at the Venice Biennale 2017, The Force of Nature, Love, Ascends through education, Empowerment, Building Bridges (Venice Biennale 2019), in which 6 pairs of arms emerge to heaven symbolizing the six universal values of humanity, friendship, faith, help, love, hope and wisdom.
