Working in both monumental and small dimensions, sculptor Gino Miles is inspired by 20th Century European masters such as Moore, Brancusi, Archipenko, and Marini. Stripped of an overt narrative, Miles' abstract forms achieve a poetic harmony of man and nature, with subtle references to both the human form and ancient cultures.
Miles became interested in painting and sculpture at the University of Northern Colorado, where he earned a Master of Arts in sculpture. He studied in Italy and helped establish ltalart, a school for American and German students in the Chianti region. He now lives in Santa Fe, NM and his large-scale works are prominently featured in many permanent and private collections throughout the United States, Europe, and South America.
