Victor Issa: Sculpting Across America
CALIFORNIA
Victor Issa’s work has become known for its breathtaking realism, rich emotion, perfect proportion, dynamic composition and exquisite detail. This ability to infuse bronze with “life” has earned Victor the moniker of Creating Living Bronze™.
An immigrant from Lebanon as a high school graduate in 1973, exposure to and training in fine art was a rare thing during his younger years. Yet Issa’s gifts were apparent as manifested by his continuous drawing on any candidate surface.
Victor received his sculpture training at the University of Nebraska, Lincoln and a BS degree in Art Education at Union College, Lincoln, NE. His work is collected worldwide. Some of his public installations can be seen in California, Colorado, Florida, Kansas, Maryland, Michigan, and Texas. In the past few years, Victor has completed four major works. They include Come Unto Me, a 9-figure composition for Loma Linda University Children’s Hospital, and Healing at Bethesda, commissioned for Adventist Health headquartered at Orlando Florida. His most recent commission is by The World Lebanese Cultural Union and is a larger-than-life portrait of Lebanese poet, Gibran Khalil Gibran.
