Michael Lucero

Sculptor, American, born 1953

The sculpture depicts a seated figure with legs crossed and holding a book. Its facial features are minimally defined, and the head is tilted slightly upward with a serene expression. The sculpture is brightly colored with a combination of orange, black, red, and a pale metallic hue for the circular shape on the chest. The surface of the sculpture appears glossy and smooth. The figure captures a sense of calm introspection, and its size relative to the viewer appears to be that of a small tabletop sculpture.
