“Hamsome”

Hamsome was born from a conversation about creating a sweet little piggy. John studied many baby pigs and noticed many of them seeming to smile. John tried several poses before landing on this little pig smiling and looking up toward the viewer.

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.
