Victor Issa’s studio is situated in the beautiful Todd Creek Farms, west of Brighton, Colorado. It’s just 30 miles from Loveland, the art colony famed as the sculpture capital of America. He shares creative camaraderie and an awe-inspiring environment with many internationally recognized sculptors.
In the past four decades, Victor Issa Studios has been the genesis of literally hundreds of the most remarkably life-like figures to be sculpted by any artist. The process “creating living bronze” is arduous and enormously time-consuming; many of the tools remain little changed from those used by Michelangelo and Rodin. At this stage of his career, he works solo in his studio, sculpting, working with the foundries and vendors, keeping touch with his collectors and trying to keep the studio organized. Not doing so well on the last one (smile). Many hundreds —sometimes thousands—of hours are involved in the creation of “living” bronze, time and skill that are reflected in the high-value collectors place on such remarkable works of art.
When you are traveling in our area, we would be very pleased to have you visit our studio and observe the process of Creating Living Bronze.
