Lorenzo Quinn was born in Rome ( Italy) the 7th of May, 1966. He has studied art at the American Academy of Fine Arts in New York and in workshops and foundries both in the United States and Europe. His artistic endeavours are impressive and rewarding, and have brought him phenomenal success. Hi is inspired by the great masters, Michelangelo, Bernini, Carpaux and Rodin, and frequently returns to Italy for inspiration and knowledge. Starting out as a painter in 1982 he soon has discovered that a dimension was missing from his works. He turned to sculpting because of a need to create. He felt that as a painter he could not offer anything that had not been offerered already by other artist before him. Sculpting allows him to convey his innermost feelings to the viewer, it is in fact this direct communication. Lorenzo's work is included in many impressive private collections throughout the world, which has lead to prodigious amount of commissioned work. In fact, Lorenzo has been commissioned by the Vatican to esculpt the likeness of Saint Anthony to commemorate the Eighth Centennial of the saint’s birth. He has also been commissioned by the United Nations to produce a stamp for their collection. He’s been the focus of the campaign for "Absolute Vodka" entitled "Absolute Lorenzo". His current project "The Globe of Life" is truly a dream come true and his most important work to date.
