Armani Figurines: Cinderella: Cinderella in Rags

RETIRED! Giuseppe Armani describes his creative credo: I believe an artist has to follow his own evolution and not solely be ruminant of the past. Take to the spark of life but always infused with a breathtaking realism.

Giuseppe Armani has gained a reputation as one of the worlds leading collectibles sculptors. His work covers a wide variety of subjects, but mainly elegant ladies.

Many of his sculptures owe their form to the Renaissance school of art which Armani often follows.

There is a growing market for his sculptures and commissions for Disney and a expanding Collectors Society has increased awareness.

Armani was born in Calci, not far from Pisa, Italy. He was a gifted artist from a young age and living near great art cities such as Florence was exposed to the works of many famous artists. Initially working as a sculptor in an art gallery and later in 1975 forming a relationship with Florence Sculture d'Arte which continues today. The factory of Florence Sculture d'Arte is located at the heart of Tuscany.

The figures are produced using the medium of cold-cast porcelain which allows the most minute details of his sculptures to be reproduced. Much of the success of the sculptures is this attention to detail and the quality and beauty of the finished work.
