“Garden Prince Maquette”

Bronze Frog Sculpture

My little “Garden Prince” frog was one of the very first sculptures I created which also became a garden seat in a much larger form. My designs of animals and figures are influenced by my appreciation of Art Nouveau and Art Deco. I add brilliantly colored patinas to highlight the forms and details.

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.
