From https://www.demilked.com/surreal-sculptures-boston-harborwalk-michael-alfano/

Michael Alfano is a sculptor whose art goes beyond the literal, conveying abstract concepts about humanity. His work combines familiar shapes with a surreal presentation to spark curiosity and contemplation.

Alfano’s sculptures utilize negative space to draw attention to the intangible, while accompanying quotations enrich the viewer’s experience. His art aims to provoke thought, generate discussion, and inspire change. With a focus on the human form, The artist’s sculptures are created through a meticulous process that involves sketching, clay modeling, and casting. His artwork can be found in galleries, museums, and private collections worldwide. Today, we’ve collected a few interesting face sculptures from his “Boston Harborwalk” series. Check out the amazing masterpieces in the gallery below.
