Nano Lopez

Nano Lopez is a Colombian born bronze sculptor now residing in Walla Walla, Washington, where he is near his foundry. He has been living in the Pacific Northwest since the 1980’s, and has gained prominence throughout the world. Lopez left Colombia in the late 1970’s to work in a sculptor’s studio in Spain and study at L’Ecole des Beaux Artes in Paris before briefly returning to his native country and then landing in the Pacific Northwest.

​

His early work was figurative, but during his time in Spain he began incorporating elements of buildings, industry, and machines into his pieces. This present work is partly figurative and partly his series of “Nanimals” – patterned and brightly painted animal sculptures, incorporating gears and other symbols of modern life.
