This is one of my earlier sculptures, of a squirrel I discovered in a nature book of creatures nearing extinction. I had never seen such a tiny squirrel and wanted to pay lovely homage to him. His belly has a completely freeform design reminiscent of Art Nouveau, acknowledging the wildness of this little creature.

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.
