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.

"Logan's first lesson in life was definitely about Patience (Which he needed a lot of it!). Because for two long months all he ate was his father's minimalistic style dining. But now that mom, Lea, has returned, he is extremely happy, enjoying, delicious and abundant fish, gourmet cuisine."

Good condition.
