"Let us tell them the painful truth, that most of these works of art are about God, whom we never mention in polite society." -Ananda K. Coomaraswami

About the Artist.
David James DeStafeno is a sculptor based in Santa Fe, New Mexico.
David spends thousands of hours chiseling, hammering, and intracately grinding away at his stone sculptures until they become magnificent faces, torsos, hands, or explorations of form. David's work is a reflection of his deeper exploration of consciousness, and his personal relationship to the sacredness of existence. DeStafeno says, "There's an honest world that lives inside the stone. Stones won't initially reveal their natures, but if asked, they won't lie. Their answers are always honest."
