Intrinsically artistic and previously trained as a precision engineer Barry Davies started up a small business in 1989 as a cabinet maker. He introduced carving to embellish the furniture which proved popular with clients. The carving rapidly developed to sculpture and realising the need to extend his knowledge of the traditions of sculpture, Davies studied Art History with the Open University. He developed the use of the golden ratio to proportion his works as did renaissance sculptors Donatello and Michelangelo. He has sculpted portrait busts of Julius Caesar, Shakespeare and many others from solid Cararra marble blocks imported from Italy. He also sculpted a statue of 16th century Bishop William Morgan who translated the Bible from Hebrew into Welsh. Davies' passion for anthropology, palaeontology and anatomical study has led him to not only create bronze sculptures but also tutoring classes in clay modelling of these subjects. Since 2010 Davies has exhibited his sculptures in the UK and Europe. The international exhibitions include venues in Chelsea, London,- Uffizi gallery, Florence, - Bramante Halls, Rome,- Flangini Palace, Venice - Milan - Verona and Barcelona. Davies now creates 3/4 life-size statues of historical figures namely St.david, Llywelyn ap Iorwerth (Llywelyn the Great) ,a thoroughbred horse and the Coronation of Henry V. He was a member of a panel of judges of the prestigious ‘Visual Art Open’ in Chester, UK. Davies' sculptures are the culmination of decades of study of human and animal anatomy, classical, renaissance and Baroque sculpture creating his own unique style in figurative statuary and depicting natural history in bronze.
