Tradition Meets Vision: Yoko Kubrick's Approach to Sculpture.
With over 20 years dedicated to her craft, Yoko’s artistic journey began as an artisan for a California sculptor, where she received professional training in a traditional atelier setting. Here, she learned the ins and outs of bronze casting, fabrication, and finish work, acquiring hands-on experience that would later inform her own artistic practice. Later, Yoko studied marble carving before briefly attending the Accademia di Belle Arte in Carrara. She left soon after to work in a private studio with professional sculptors, where she received mentorship and further honed her skills as an artist.
Yoko has worked in various studios over the years in Pietrasanta and Carrara, locations renowned for their rich artistic heritage and skilled artisans. Surrounded by colleagues with many years of combined experience, she creates sculptures that combine her unique artistic vision with the traditions and techniques that have been perfected over generations.
She draws inspiration from the region’s rich history and the beauty of the surrounding landscape, resulting in sculptures that are a reflection of her deep reverence for nature and mythology.
