A sculptor of Syrian origin, he works\u2014as was customary in the past\u2014using only a chisel to shape blocks of Carrara marble, the finest stone whose history echoes through the centuries. Naman does not produce any drawings or models, but surrenders to his unusual affinity with the cold material to reveal what it conceals.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>A unique opportunity to experience hand-crafted sculpture, transforming raw material into a figure.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div id='gallery-1' class='gallery galleryid-52000 gallery-columns-2 gallery-size-trx_addons-thumb-portrait'><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon portrait'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href=''><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"370\" height=\"493\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rossettiartecontemporanea.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/GIAL7291-Modifica-Modificapiccola-370x493.jpg\" class=\"attachment-trx_addons-thumb-portrait size-trx_addons-thumb-portrait\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon portrait'>\n\t\t\t\t<a title=\"elias naman scultura marmo\" href=''><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"370\" height=\"493\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rossettiartecontemporanea.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/GIAL6870-Modifica-Modificapiccola-370x493.jpg\" class=\"attachment-trx_addons-thumb-portrait size-trx_addons-thumb-portrait\" alt=\"elias naman scultura marmo\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>THE ARTIST<\/h3>\n<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-604f852 sc_inner_width_none sc_content_align_inherit sc_layouts_column_icons_position_left sc_fly_static trx_addons_parallax_layers_inited trx_addons_parallax_blocks_inited\" data-id=\"604f852\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5d438aa sc_fly_static elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor trx_addons_parallax_layers_inited trx_addons_parallax_blocks_inited\" data-id=\"5d438aa\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n<p><strong>Elias Naman was born in Yabroud (Syria) in 1980.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-fe6b9e0 sc_inner_width_none sc_content_align_inherit sc_layouts_column_icons_position_left sc_fly_static trx_addons_parallax_layers_inited trx_addons_parallax_blocks_inited\" data-id=\"fe6b9e0\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-df10f4a sc_fly_static elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor trx_addons_parallax_layers_inited trx_addons_parallax_blocks_inited\" data-id=\"df10f4a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n<div>After graduating from the Faculty of Fine Arts in Damascus, he arrived in Italy in 2003 and enrolled at the Accademia di Carrara, where he obtained his four-year degree in 2009 and, in 2011, specialised in sculpture with top marks.<\/div>\n<div>He has always favoured the figurative style and works marble exclusively by hand, without the aid of machinery, just as Michelangelo did over five hundred years ago.<\/div>\n<div>His working method draws on tradition and classical principles: he works directly from the block of marble without the use of a model or drawings.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>\u201cFor Elias Naman, marble is a living, sensitive substance. A voice to be listened to and transferred into the soul, to combine the spirit of classicism with the deepest emotional impulses.<\/div>\n<div>Indeed, whether he carves and shapes the white Carrara marble or the grey Bardiglio, symphonic voluptuousness emerges from his hands, combining the spirit of classicism with the emotional impulses aroused by the state of grace of every age.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>His is truly a \u2018heroic endeavour\u2019, for even today he does not shy away from evoking, through his artistry, time-honoured memories of ancient drapery, only to direct the remainder of the narrative not towards the concreteness of a figure to be represented, but towards the nostalgic flight of a dream to be pursued in the course of an ethereal evolution that ideally extends beyond the work itself.\u201d<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>(Elisabetta
