Upon graduation, Santo Mirabile began as an artist by winning his high school’s highest award in art. He then received his BFA from the Maryland Institute College of Art. Artist Statement: Kinetic Sculpture occupies a special place in art for me. When sculpture moves, it seems to breathe, giving it a life-like appearance. Air, color, shape and light all play a role in my work. This magic cannot be achieved without balance and that’s where, as a Libra, this balancing comes natural to me. It is more than two-dimensional and beyond compositional form, it is a physical truth coupled with the elements of the place where the sculpture lives. I continue to experiment with shapes that seem to move even when the air is still.
