Creating Life Through The Art Of Sculpting

Lorenzo Quinn’s sculptures are living testaments to his belief in the force, power, eternal values and worth of each and every one of us.

For Lorenzo Quinn, sculptor, poet and jewelry artisan, actualizing the person one sees reflected in the mirror is definitive of his philosophical take on life, art, family and the responsibilities of being a citizen of the world. “My general motto is ‘Give and receive’; in fact, the circle is the symbol I use for my jewelry brand. The more you give, the more you receive. If you give love, you will receive love back; if you give hate, you receive hate back,” Quinn says.

A dedicated family man, Quinn’s persona as an artist and a man are one and the same. Both are inspired by passion and emotion. “Unlike a lot of men, I am unafraid to connect with my emotions. My intention is to carry positive messages through my art; all of my sculptures carry a message. The same questions I ask myself in my life, I ask myself in my art. With so much in the world worth talking about, why talk nonsense? Instead, why don’t we talk about things that are meaningful?”

The love and commitment that Quinn has for his family − his wife Giovanna (to whom he has been married for 31 years) and sons Christopher, 25, Nicholas, 23, and Anthony, 13 — resonate throughout our conversation. “Everything I do, in one way or another, is inspired by my family,” Quinn says. “Their well-being is the one constant in my life. My nature themes are tied to my children’s future; my theme of love is tied to my relationship with Giovanna.”
