Lorenzo Quinn’s “Trust” is a profound and evocative sculpture that masterfully captures the essence of human connection and vulnerability. Renowned for his extraordinary ability to convey emotion through form, Quinn’s artistry shines brilliantly in this piece. “Trust” depicts a large, open hand delicately cradling a small, reclining figure, symbolizing the tender balance between protection and trust, strength and fragility. The hand’s graceful curve, combined with the meticulous detailing of the fingers, exudes a gentle power—a testament to Quinn’s superb craftsmanship and his profound understanding of human emotion.
The sculpture’s finish, a captivating patina, ranges in subtle shades of bronze that enhance the tactile textures of the hand and figure. This color palette evokes a sense of timelessness, seamlessly blending classical artistry with a modern twist. Each angle of the sculpture offers a new perspective, inviting viewers to explore the intricate relationship and trust exhibited by the figures.
Adding “Trust” to your collection means acquiring a piece that resonates profoundly on an emotional level. It is not only a centerpiece of artistic beauty but also a conversation starter, sparking dialogue about its narrative and thematic depth. As Lorenzo Quinn’s works continue to capture hearts worldwide and grow in acclaim, this piece represents a wise investment—as much a testament to personal taste as to visionary art.

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.
