Beautiful Sculpture by Angela Mia De La Vega
According to American artist Angela Mia De la Vega, she made her first bronze sculpture in 1994. Human spirit, expressive faces and natural body movement – Angela’s recognized trademark. Her work’s inspiration is the curious and ever-changing individuality of her children. “Having the concept so clear in my mind, I have already chosen my models: individuals who represent a multiplicity of humanity, glowing with spirit, and shaping light and shadows over form.”
The work of the sculptor impresses with its realism, expressiveness and naturalness of movement. Inspired by her own children, she created a terrific series of sculptures dedicated to carefree boys and girls frolicking on the street reading a book whirling in dance … And it’s no wonder that these charming bronze creations adorn not only city parks and squares, but also shopping centers. Because every “child” looks so believable that it’s impossible to pass by without paying attention.

Artist’s Statement

There is so much beauty to see in every given moment. I wish desperately that I could sculpt it all, like a camera capturing consecutive moments in time, separated only by seconds. For each sculpture, I listen to memory – a vision that does not fade, as it must come into being in all of its fullness. I always work with a model for this vision – a model that can represent a multiplicity of humanity, glowing with spirit, and shaping light and shadows over form.

The addition, details, such as clothing or accompanying objects within a sculpture are the result of hours of research into culture, history and photographs in order to achieve authenticity and realism.

Paying special attention to the game of chiaroscuro and careful study of the smallest details, Angela manages to create truly magnificent sculptures, looking at which once again you begin to doubt that they are all made of bronze. Thanks to his extraordinary talent and hard work, the master managed to give his creations not only maximally natural poses, but also facial expressions. That is why all the figures look so lively and emotionally that you want to reach out to them and feel the incredible energy coming from each of them. After all, the author did not just breathe life into them, but she also put her soul …
