« Everything was old about him except his eyes, which were the same color as the sea. -Ernest Hemingway. »

Guglielmo Ferraiola is an Italian painter and sculptor whose works have been exhibited nationally and in France. He describes the love of matter as what initially prompted him to become an artist. Ferraiola's figurative and abstract compositions are greatly inspired by the sea and the sun's rays. Using lost wax bronze casting methods, as well as iron and steel worked with plasma, he employs varied materials in his artistic process, including bronze, wood, plexiglass, steel, iron, and recycled materials.
