Lopez’s sculpture is an artful amalgam of the bright colors of a Colombian market place; animals precariously laden with Pre-Columbian and contemporary artifacts. When looking closer, his work invites us to observe the world more carefully and discover for ourselves the rich interconnection of life. Nano Lopez is an artist gifted with the rare ability to see the world with exploration, wonder, and creativity. He is deeply fascinated by the mysteries of life and its inherent struggles. In his artistic process, Nano utilizes the "lost wax" casting method, and integrates organic textures and human-made objects into his bronzes to create pieces of art that reflect the same depth and richness he sees in the world around him.

“Arthur the Believer – According to the position of the sun and all the other stars. The North wind and its temperature, I say all sorts of things are really ready to embark or rather take off, and to fly high to see things in another perspective, that’s of the sky’s.”

Good condition.
