Hopkinton, Massachusetts-based fine artist Michael Alfano explores the human body forms and poetic and philosophical ideas to create mesmerizingly surreal sculptures.
Michael Alfano is known for creating figurative and surrealistic sculpture that goes beyond the literal, adapting the human form to convey philosophical ideas and abstract concepts. He cites his major influences as Salvador Dali, Jo Davidson, and Jean-Antione Houdon, as well as Buddhist, Taoist, Sufi, and other eastern philosophy and literature. “When I dig into the clay, I pull out a vision that previously existed nowhere but inside my head, or some other place I don’t know but am in touch with.”
