THE ARTIST
Originally from Lima, Peru, sculptor Fernando Calderón has created art from a wide range of materials including: wood, bronze, iron, marble, ceramic, paper, gold and silver. While working on his BFA in Sculpture at the Pontificia Universidad Católica del Peru, Calderón was awarded the First Prize in Sculpture by the National Museum of Art in Peru, selected from among all Peruvian art school students.
Calderón has had solo exhibitions in Peru, Los Angeles, Fort Lauderdale and Detroit and has participated in over 60 international & local group exhibitions. In the later half of 1995, his work toured with the New Incentives For The Arts (NIFTA).
Calderón is also an award winning jewelry sculptor. He was a finalist in Tiffany and Company's 1990 Sterling Silver Competition in New York City and included in their New Statements in Sterling exhibition that toured nationwide.

In addition to being an award-winning visual artist, Calderón is also a sought-after curator of both private collectors and public exhibitions. He has curated and installed exhibitions for the U.S. Embassy in Peru, the Peruvian Presidential Palace, the International Fair of the Pacific, the International Biennial of Trujillo, Creative Liaisons, the Beaumont Foundation-Children's Miracle Network and the Creative Art Center.
In 1999, Calderón began collaborating with two other artists to work on site-specific installations and performance art. The group, named “Dialoguistas,” is gaining national and international recognition with museums and galleries-including an installation at the Museum of Modern Art in Croatia.
As a solo artist, Calderón continues proving his multifaceted talent by creating mixed-media sculptures, wall reliefs, sculptural furniture, jewelry and drawings.
His natural aesthetic eye, extensive training and decisive candor, make him a popular consultant on art collecting, interior design, home staging, garden design, unique event table setting & invitations.
