John Maisano’s designs of animals are influenced by his appreciation of Art Nouveau and Art Deco. He uses his carefully planned patinas to highlight the flowing details. “Pearl” is a bronze squirrel sculpture that includes a removable acorn. The surprise of the highly polished bronze acorn is a kind of reward for viewers who give in to their curiosity. “Pearl” combines flowing lines, a playful pose, and a contented expression to capture the character of the squirrel. With a blend of soft and hard lines, Maisano achieves an intriguing balance of forms in this whimsical piece of artwork.

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.
