Look closely at Nano's sculpture and you will discover the bright colors of a Colombian marketplace, animals precariously laden with pots, fruits, vegetables, birds, bees, geckos, Pre-Columbian and contemporary artifacts. Nano Lopez is an artist gifted with the rare ability to see the world as a child sees it, with exploration, wonder, and creativity.
His sculptures describe a world beyond the borders of ordinary maps where an unfettered imagination allows nature, science, folklore and modern industrialism to exist seamlessly together. It reminds us that the miracle of life exists at all levels, from the patterns on a leaf to the profound mysteries of the universe.
Spirited and fanciful creatures, the NANIMALS, are a fascinating fusion of intricate details, rich textures and surprising connections. Nano invites us to look at the world more carefully and discover for ourselves the vibrant interwoven fabric of life.
