About this artwork
Lost wax bronze casting.
In 1944 in the country where I was born in 1940, during the Second World War, as history tells us, there was the landing of the Americans. Thousands of young soldiers died during the clashes with the Germans.
Thus it was that during the construction of the great American cemetery, the workers of my country learned to play baseball and later became European champions.
My works inspired by this sport want to pay homage to… the strength that a baseball can unleash.

« 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.
