Fabrizio Sitzia's art

Split – Portland stone – 2019 In 2019 I made this sagittal section of a human head in Portland stone in the tradition of last century’s wax anatomical models.

The Jaws of Time

Deliverance – Portland – 2020

First attempt at sculpting something other than heads and anatomical pieces. I quite enjoyed it and I feel like this could become a lovely art decor piece for any home.

New project page- Anatomical dissection of Herbert West
