Dave Gesualdi is a master sculptor from Bethel, Connecticut, whose bronze and marble works carry both the weight of history and the warmth of humanity. Over a career spanning more than four decades, he has created some of the region’s most iconic public monuments—including the beloved life-size statue of P.T. Barnum in downtown Bethel—cementing his reputation as a sculptor of enduring vision. Working primarily in marble and bronze, Gesualdi blends classical technique with an unmistakable emotional presence. His sculptures balance strength with sensitivity, grit with grace. Figures emerge grounded and monumental, yet alive and profoundly human, shaped by his respect for traditional craftsmanship and his deep connection to the natural world. Collectors are drawn to Gesualdi’s work for its timelessness, material integrity, and its ability to tell stories across generations. Whether encountered in a public square or lived with as a more intimate studio piece, his sculpture offers a sense of permanence and reflection—art that endures, art that anchors.
