Eric Kappeler

Eric Kappeler is a Swiss born sculptor otherwise known as Capellano.
Born in Schmerikon, Switzerland in 1951, he studied at the prestigious Swiss Design School St Gallen, and has worked with stone, bronze and wood for more than 40 years.
His most notable work is the entrance hall for Bank Linth Uznach, Switzerland.
Capellano creates beautiful marble sculptures.
His ideas are inspirational and his experience the guide.
Each marble sculpture is hand carved from fine marble from the mountains in the north of Vietnam.
"It is an enjoyable material to work with and its natural crystals provide a striking finish once polished. It all starts with a spark of inspiration, which can happen at any time. Only when I have a vision can the sculpture begin. It may take a few versions before I have created what was originally in my mind".
Once the sculpture has been perfected, it can be created for sale.
No more than 5 sculptures are ever made from one design......says Capellano.
