From his Naples studio in a 16th-century church, 36-year-old Jago, a true rock star, is revolutionizing sculpture by marrying Renaissance techniques with digital-age reach. His most striking works — from a stripped-bare Pope Benedict XVI to his grief-laden “Pietà” — reveal profound humanity beneath marble’s cool surface. In 2019, he sent his “First Baby” sculpture to the International Space Station, proving classical art can still break new ground.
“The 36-year-old has earned widespread praise for his modern twists on classical-style sculptures, as well as a large following on Instagram.”
