Musa, 2024

Elias Naman was born in Yabroud (Syria) in 1980. After graduating from the Faculty of Fine Arts in Damascus, he moved to Italy in 2003 and enrolled at the Academy of Carrara, where he obtained a four-year degree in 2009 and a specialization in sculpture with top marks in 2011. He has always favored the figurative style and works exclusively by hand with marble, without the aid of machines, just as Michelangelo did more than five hundred years ago.

His method of execution is traditional and classical: he works from a block of marble without the use of models or drawings. For Elias Naman, marble is a living, sensitive substance. It is a voice to be listened to and transmitted to the soul, combining the spirit of classicism with the deepest emotional impulses. Indeed, whether he engraves and shapes the white Carrara marble or the gray Bardiglio, his hands produce symphonic delights that combine the spirit of classicism with the emotional impulses aroused by the state of grace of each era.
