In 2014, I sculpted this 38"h sculpture of Don Prudencio Unanue Ortiz, the founder of Goya Foods. 4 years later, the bronze was unveiled at Goya Headquarters in NJ. ------------------------------------ In Collaboration w/Maritza Hernandez and @rotblattamrany studio.

Ceramic shell is notoriously durable but pouring a hundred pounds of 2000 degree metal can still be traumatic for our molds. During the final applications of the shell we add a girdle of chicken wire to help with structural integrity

With the right patina even foundry slag can be made into something beautiful ❤️

Funerary castings are available upon request. These examples have just been poured into bronze and are in the process of refinement. They can be created as a life cast or post mortem. And can be custom patinaed (colored), and mounted to a pedestal, wall, or framed depending on family’s needs.
