Sculptures by Gino Miles

Gino Miles became interested in painting and sculpture in the early 1970s at the University of Northern Colorado, where he earned a Master of Arts degree in Sculpture. Working on both a monumental and smaller scale, Miles is inspired primarily by 20th-century European masters such as Moore, Brancusi, Archipenko, and Marini.

He studied at the Università per Stranieri in Perugia, Italy, and at the Accademia di Belle Arti in Florence, Italy. A profound love of teaching inspired Miles to help establish Italart, a school for American and German students in the Chianti region south of Florence. After many years in Europe, Miles and his wife returned to the United States and settled in Santa Fe, New Mexico. Miles’s large-scale sculptures are prominently featured in many permanent and private collections throughout the United States, Europe, and South America.
