PAUL B. LOTZ

Paul B. Lotz is a contemporary sculptor based in California. He is known for his ability to fuse classical tradition with surrealism, creating pieces that explore the human figure and its emotional dimensions in unique ways. In his signature bronze sculptures, Lotz creates visual worlds that fuse the tangible with the dreamlike.

Lotz’s artistic career began in 2010 when he began sculpting ceramics in Italy, inspired by the mastery of the old masters of the Renaissance, who captured the emotional complexity of the human figure with impeccable technique. In his early years of sculpture, ceramics was his medium of expression, seeking to capture hidden feelings and depict people in their most intimate state.

Lotz evolved in his creative process when he discovered bronze as a material, allowing him to refine his details and take his sculptures to a deeper expression level. Bronze allowed him to bring complex forms to life and depict emotions that previously could only be intuited. As his style matured, his works began to take on a new life, exploring surreal realities and twisted fantasies that defied logic, while incorporating a sense of whimsy and sarcasm.

Thus was born a series of pieces that fused classical style with surrealist aesthetics. His sculptures began to acquire lives and meanings of their own, transforming into visual narratives that invite the viewer to immerse themselves in them. What initially seemed like an exercise in capturing humanity in its purest form, soon evolved into a deeper exploration of the dream world; a terrain where whimsical and sometimes sarcastic humor began to flow freely.
