While visiting the Tower of London I saw my first raven. I hadn’t realized how huge these creatures were with so powerful of a presence. These majestic creatures seem to have been with us for centuries, as shown by the rune-like designs on the wings. The designs are Celtic in nature, sharp and powerful. Ravens are wise creatures, collectors of both objects and knowledge.

John Maisano is fascinated by the artistic designs found in Celtic, African, Inuit and Tribal art which he incorporates into his sculptures. Each sculpture is inscribed with intricate designs derived from natural forms and structures. His sculptures range in size from treasures that can be held in the palm of one’s hand to larger-than-life monuments. His work focuses on graceful interpretations of animals shaped in a way that captures the life force of each animal and transforms it into something more.
