Few words are needed to define and reveal the power and beauty of Lorenzo Ghiglieri’s art. Expressed in his own evocative style, every unique creation is original, recognizing the truth that Ghiglieri’s profound diversity and skill will stand the test of time in equaling and occasionally surpassing the great masters of history. Born to an Italian sculptor father and French artist mother, Ghiglieri grew up in a rich ethnic culture on the fringe of a Los Angeles ghetto. After receiving extensive formal training, Lorenzo took it upon himself to study the Old Masters, especially deriving influence from Rembrandt, Velasquez and Corot. At the age of 17 he was honored with a prestigious art scholarship, and by the age of 20, Ghiglieri was working on national accounts.At 22, while serving in the U.S. Navy, he received his first commission from none other than the United States Government to paint what became a gift to Great Britain at Queen Elizabeth II’s coronation. His search for meaning in his work lead him from formal training into tackling raw life experiences; living the life of a frontiersman. Ghiglieri trekked across mountains and deserts, researching and documenting for his art. He lived the simple life, rugged life with the Eskimos on the final frontier of Alaska. Out of the richness of these experiences he emerged, deeply engrained with the will to preserve, protect and prolong America’s western heritage.

It is etched in every stroke of his paintings, molded in every one of his bronze sculptures. In 1994, Ghiglieri sculpted the “Official American Bald Eagle” in bronze, silver and gold; now on display at the White House and part of their permanent collection. More recently, he was commissioned to complete the Timeline of Liberty, a historical bronze piece documenting the forefathers of liberty from ancient Greece to modern times. Every work adheres to his philosophy: It must be purposeful and meaningful; it must be positive and uplifting. As a result, his work is immensely valuable not only for what it is, but for what it stands for. It will endure, serving as a record of the past, a lesson for the present and a hope for the future.
