Italian Iago Jacopo Cardillo revives marble

Amazing creations are created by the master from Italy Iago Jacopo Cardillo. When you look at his sculptures, you get the feeling that they are not made of marble, but of real flesh and blood. Fans of the talent of the sculpture nicknamed him the Michelangelo of our time. As a child, Jacopo could spend hours studying Renaissance works. He admired them and dreamed of creating something of his own. Therefore, this recognition of skills inspires and motivates Iago to achieve even greater achievements.

Today Iago is considered one of the most successful sculptors. Surprisingly, the virtuoso of his craft never specially studied the creation of sculptures. All his merits are only the result of a consistent study of all stages of the process.
For the first time, Cardillo announced his talent at the age of 22. He presented to the public a sculpture depicting Pope Benedict XVI. And after 3 years, Iago invited viewers to his personal exhibition.

A large part of the sculptor's exhibits are devoted to the natural aging processes of the human body. The author endows his works with incredibly realistic features. He devotes a lot of time to detailed elaboration of wrinkles, veins and other signs of age-related changes.



Iago's exhibits harmoniously combine the centuries-old experience of classical masters, modern techniques and the author's own ideas. It is worth noting that Jacopo Cardillo has a page on social media. For his audience of many thousands, the creator captures all stages of his work on camera. Admirers watch with admiration how the sculptor creates another masterpiece of art from a faceless block of marble.
Today, Cardillo's works are exhibited all over the world, and the sculptor himself, in addition to working with marble, is engaged in teaching at the Academy of Arts (New York).
