Celebrating Metal Artistry
In a triumph of creativity and craftsmanship, Angellos Glaros’ sculpture, “Blue Heron,” clinched the grand prize in Metal Supermarkets’ Metal My Way competition. Operating from Glaros Studios/WestCoast Arts in Nanaimo, British Columbia, Glaros’ mastery in metalwork and design continues to captivate audiences worldwide.
Artistic Evolution in Metal
Originally trained in sculpting with marble and clay at the Nova Scotia College of Art and Design, Glaros’ journey into metalwork was sparked by a visit to a fellow artist’s studio in 2008. Since then, he has seamlessly fused metal elements into his creations, expanding his artistic spectrum to include intricate railings, furniture, and nature-inspired sculptures.
A Testament to Craftsmanship
Glaros’ meticulous attention to detail is evident in every aspect of his work, from shaping organic forms with a power hammer to meticulously crafting over 1,200 individually welded feathers for “Blue Heron.” His dedication to preserving the integrity and longevity of his pieces ensures that each creation withstands the test of time, inviting viewers to immerse themselves in the beauty of his artistry.
