ANGELO SOLDINI

ITALY
1909-1984

Master sculptor of the modern age whose life as an artist closely mirrored the greatness of the sculptor of all time Michelangelo. The dexterity in his art was unmatched. The precision of his chisel produced marble creations that boggled the mind.

The “Titan Collection” was chiselled with meticulous precision in multi layered marble and onyx, one would swear was cloth. The ebony black contours of the Nubian figures were living breathing entities.

The “Majestic Eagle” has a life inspiring spellbinding posture in flight, the talons poised to capture its unsuspecting prey. The sheer power is flashing from the eagle’s piercing eyes. Soldini is one with the creature. The craggy mountain peak is the proud eagles domain.

“Girl Dreaming” is a marvel sculpture in its simplicity and purity. The white Carrera marble seemingly flows like water from the crown to the toes of this serene angelic figure.

Soldini’s “Head of David” could have been carved by Michelangelo himself.

His most Avant-garde Carrera Marble Structures are the chiselled “Fountain Collection”. The painstaking carvings are hand hewn with the precision of a modern lathe. Soldini’s genius is clearly manifested in these magnificent works, revolutionary in concept and design. The mathematical geophysical configurations are exacting and timeless, centuries past of the pyramids, Neptune’s Greek Mythological Goddess, the sphere of the Galaxy and the wave of oceans.

Soldini’s love of women is exemplified in his work “Serenity”. It is with great tenderness and affection that he portrays the figure holding a bird.

His greatest imagination takes shape in his “Abstract Marble Structures”. “Cobra Pose” is one such exemplaire of the classic style. The delicate pink marble highlights the purity of line and form. His works are in major galleries and private collections worldwide.
