Our
studio came into being as a result of the artistic vocation of
José
Luís Fernández Aznarez. (1929, Arros, France).
He started his training in his early childhood in Fine Arts schools
and sculptors' studios and his precociousness soon began to show
in the creativity and quality of his work. At the age of 16 he
was awarded a scholarship by the county council of Pamplona and
soon after, obtained First Prize in Modelling from the School
of Fine Arts, Vigo.
No
sooner had his training ended than his professional career began.
In 1963 he established his own studio where he created innumerable
works primarily for religious orders and brotherhoods, shops specializing
in religious artefacts and for private citizens, especially in
Spain and South America.
He
worked simultaneously on numerous projects for the Madrid and
Barcelona waxwork museums, the Granda Art Studios, Duran Auction
Houses, Roma Studios, Studio Juan de Abalos and Ortega Bru Studio.
In
1989, with the incorporation of his two sons, Jorge and José
Angel Fernandez, he was able to undertake more wide-ranging works.
Our
new studio 2009
In
1999, his two daughters, Maria Teresa Fernandez (B.A. Fine Arts,
Madrid Complutense, specializing in Restoration) and Esther Fernandez
(Graduate in Artistic Trades- La Palma) joined the studio to cope
with the increasing demand for sulptures, paintings and restorations.
Currently,
they are jointly continuing to strive with the non-conformist
spirit the studio was born with, to produce traditional, quality
work, applying new technologies wherever necessary to optimize
production.
Listed
below are but a few of the more than 1000 sculptures produced
by this studio to be found all over the globe.
