About the artist:<\/h2>\n

Etsuro Soto’o is a Japanese sculptor born in Fukuoka in 1953. Known in his country as the “Japanese Gaud\u00ed”, his work is closely linked to the Basilica of the Sagrada Familia<\/a>.<\/p>\n

He studied Fine Arts at Kyoto University and graduated in 1977. A year later, already immersed in intense teaching work, he decided to travel to Europe because as he recognized, \u201cit is where the culture of stone is most alive\u201d.<\/p>\n

His real vocation was to work manually with the material, especially with stone. Once he visited the Sagrada Familia, he was so fascinated by it that, aware of his real calling, he asked to work there as a stonemason.<\/p>\n

After passing the applicable tests, he was entrusted with the task of continuing with the construction of the Nativity fa\u00e7ade, in accordance with the instructions of Antoni Gaud\u00ed. Precisely this fa\u00e7ade has been the only one that, thanks to the great work of people like Soto’o, has been declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO.<\/p>\n

He is also the author of several sculptures and monuments throughout Japan and Catalonia, such as the monument commemorating the 150th anniversary of the Louis Vuitton company in Barber\u00e0 del Vall\u00e8s.<\/p>\n

Currently, apart from dedicating himself to the construction of the Sagrada Fam\u00edlia, he also works as a visiting professor in various Japanese entities.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row row_content_width=”grid” disable_background_image=”” css=”.vc_custom_1590484665524{padding-top: 40px !important;padding-bottom: 40px !important;}” simple_background_image=”2547″][vc_column]
