About the Item
This is a striking abstract bronze sculpture by Prince Mono. Utilizing the lost wax process, the piece is polished bronze. The piece has its own square base which is signed, "Monyo". The sculpture is circular and perfect to add to an existing art collection. It would look amazing in an eclectic interior!
From Palm Beach Daily News:
"Born in Bucharest, Prince Monyo Mihailescu-Nasturel Herescu is the last in the line of descendants of Romanian Voevods Kings. Prince Monyo grew up in a castle on the outskirts of Bucharest. He studied mechanical engineering at Bucharest University and then earned a Ph.D. in ancient history and religion from the University of Sorbonne, Paris.
His family escaped from the communist regime in 1948, leaving to the United States, but Prince Monyo stayed behind and became a political revolutionary. The communists seized his family’s fortune and businesses. During this time he escaped with some friends into the mountains. He was later captured as a political prisoner and held in solitary confinement for 71/2 years. “During that time I fantasized about days spent in my childhood with my family,” he says. “The power of my mind kept me sane throughout that time. I was given an immense appreciation for life and humanity.”
He came to the United States as a political refugee and met with his family
in Florida in 1960s. “I never in my wildest dreams imagined I would be an artist,” he said. “I began sculpting clay figures that I had envisioned while in prison to help me cope with my thoughts.” He was self taught. "I have nothing to lose but everything to gain,’ so I have always taken every opportunity.”
He made Palm Beach his permanent home in the 1980s. In 1980, he opened one of the largest bronze foundries in Florida. Prince Monyo’s bronze sculptures are displayed at numerous public facilities and buildings around the world and have been featured in
magazines including International Art Guild and Architectural Digest.
