Indalecio Etchebarne (b. 2004, Buenos Aires) is an Argentine-Croatian sculptor whose practice is rooted in the classical tradition of stone carving, reinterpreted through the precision of a scientific mind and the sensitivity of an athlete deeply attuned to natural forces. Raised between Buenos Aires and New York City, Etchebarne's early formation took shape at the Metropolitan Museum of Art and El Museo del Barrio, where a sustained engagement with ancient and modern sculpture ignited his commitment to the medium. His admiration for artists who dissolve the boundary between art and structure — Leonardo da Vinci and Santiago Calatrava among them — has defined the conceptual underpinning of his work from the outset. The pivotal chapter of Etchebarne's development began in the summer of 2021, when he joined Maestro Pablo Atchugarry as an intern at his legendary studio in Lecco, Italy — a mentorship that has continued each summer since. Under Atchugarry's direction, Etchebarne contributed to a wooden sculpture exhibited at Milan's Palazzo Reale and featured in the official exhibition catalogue; the work was subsequently shown at the Andrea Bocelli Palace. Working alongside one of the most significant marble sculptors of our time, Etchebarne has immersed himself in every dimension of the craft — from the selection of stone in Carrara to the transport of twenty-foot marble blocks to the atelier — developing a rare fluency in a discipline that demands both physical mastery and philosophical depth. His sculptures, which shift in character depending on the angle from which they are viewed, reflect a Heraclitean understanding of change: the stone is never the same twice, nor is the artist who shapes it. Currently studying Civil Engineering with a minor in Finance at New York University, Etchebarne brings an engineer's rigor to an artist's intuition — a combination that positions him as one of the most compelling emerging voices in contemporary sculpture.
