Angela Pistrucci is a multi-disciplined fine artist, published poet, working primarily in sculpture but also has a deep passion for oil painting and drawing from life. With an experimental approach to all of her work she incorporates time honoured techniques with Italian renaissance gusto. Her vision begins by creating and formulating her own tools, supplies and mediums from basic formulas, materials and methods. Angela believes true mastery comes from knowledge of the formul...as and applying this expertise to produce archival quality works of art. 2016 was awarded a prestigious scholarship and spent an intensive year in Rome, studying the art of Bas Relief at the Istituto Poligrafico de Zecca dello Stato (IPZS). IPZS is considered the world’s preeminent school for relief sculpture, direct engraving, wax modeling, copper enameling and cameo engraving. She studied ancient techniques using materials made in studio much like Rembrandt or Zorn created their own paints and mediums. In 2017 she was esteemed with a commission for the first Gold Sovereign for the Nation Gibraltar, 2019 Gibraltar Sovereign, 2019 St. Helena Gold Sovereign and Guinea. In 2019 the work will be on permanent display at the Italian Mint Museum Rome, Italy along with her other works, and beside her great uncles work currently in the museum’s collection. Her work has been exhibited in galleries in Canada, Italy and Australia. See more
