Giuseppe Palumbo

When a viewer mentions that my sculpture has soul or stirred theirs it is the highest compliment and what I aim to achieve in every piece. Successful art communicates in a universal language that words fail to convey. My work is figurative, it is not to recreate a replica of the living, but to capture the essence of the being, not a frozen pose, but alive in spirit, texture and warmth.

My objective is to communicate in a language that words don’t convey. If my work moves the viewer, stirs their soul, is a reflection of our times or pleases the aesthetic then I have achieved my goal. My chapter in the story is short, finished with the piece, then it becomes an endless tale as each viewer relives and creates their own.

As the son of a professional artist from Italy, I have always been drawn to creating. Prior to sculpting full time I was involved in many architectural and building projects. Recently I have added furniture design to my interests. I view these mediums as being interconnected in the world of aesthetics and function.
