Lorenzo Quinn’s ‘The Creation’ is a breathtaking testament to the artist’s visionary genius and his deep understanding of human emotion and expression. Crafted with meticulous care, this sculpture embodies the miraculous moment of life emerging into the world.
The piece presents a large, impeccably formed egg, its surface smooth and inviting, drawing the eye to its symbolic promise of birth and new beginnings. From within the egg, beautifully realistic hands reach out, symbolizing the first sparks of life and the eternal touch of creation. The bronze finish gleams with a warm, lustrous glow, capturing light in a way that transforms the piece throughout the day, breathing life into its static form.
Lorenzo Quinn, renowned for his powerful and evocative works, imbues ‘The Creation’ with an emotional depth that transcends time and place. His signature style—a harmonious blend of classical forms with contemporary themes—graces this piece with both timeless elegance and modern relevance. The intricate details of the hands, their poised emergence, display Quinn’s unmatched skill in capturing the essence of human emotion; a gentle reminder of our own beginnings and the beauty inherent in every new start. As a collectible, it stands at the intersection of emotional resonance and artistic excellence, making it not only a striking addition but also a savvy investment in the ever-appreciating value of Quinn’s unparalleled legacy.

Lorenzo Quinn is one of the world’s leading contemporary sculptors. Born in 1966 to the actor Anthony Quinn and costume designer Iolanda Addolori, this artist was inspired by the work of his father when he first began developing his highly emotive art style. Quinn attended the American Academy of Fine Arts in the 1980s; after initially pursuing surrealist painting, he realised his passion and ability for sculpture when he created a piece featuring Eve within Adam’s torso. After this, Quinn developed his now world renowned sculpting style.
Quinn’s success has been marked by several significant commissions. This began early in his career, including a piece commissioned by the United Nations in 1993, and another for the Vatican in 1994. Many other important commissions have since been completed by Quinn, as well as a number of public artworks. As a result, his work can be seen and recognised by numbers of fans that few contemporary artists could claim.
Quinn’s style of combining symbolic objects with realistic figures has meant that his work can be used to great effect in representational art. Because of this, he has used his art to create messages such as supporting action against climate change.
He continues to produce work to this day, and has seen great success in far-reaching, exclusive art events. Some of his most recent work has included a large installation at the Venice Biennale, which received worldwide attention and admiration.
