Sculptor based in New York, and former Arts Professor.

Born in El Salvador.

Edwin Soriano makes a scientific re-creation of the involuntary attraction to a magnetic point, which has been brought graphically to a didactic level. The purpose of some of his pieces is to create analogies with the spiritual need of prehistoric man to find himself somewhere in the universe as energy.

Sculpture techniques Edwin Soriano primarily works are stone, bronze and wood.

With more than 50 collective and 10 individual sculpture exhibitions, Edwin Soriano studied visual arts and sculpture at the National Arts Center, CENAR, El Salvador.  He has also studied bronze sculpture in Japan and Barcelona, Spain.

Participated in multiple international symposiums.

He has exhibited in Spain, Japan, Guatemala, Costa Rica El Salvador, and The United States (New York, Georgia, California, and Wisconsin). 

His work has been included in private collections located in Japan, Spain, France, Germany, The United States, El Salvador, and Guatemala. 

Curator of various sculptural pieces. 

“Soriano's work embodies the essence of ancestral identity. It presents an intriguing Leitmotif expressed in the spiritual connection between the heart of the sky and the heart of the earth. His pieces transcend the materials from which they are made; in his artistic expressions, stone ceases to be stone, wood ceases to be wood, and instead becomes the ancestral manifestation of the element it represents”.

J.R. (Mayan Priest)

“Encountering Edwin Soriano's work is likely being transported to other timelines; it invites to think and feel through knowledge systems that emerge from his deep commitment to stone and water as a means of remembrance. The echoes remain, suggesting a path to follow and influencing, in a compelling way, the will to act”.

Extinct Animals

These pieces are allegorical representations of endangered species and express gratitude to nature. They have been crafted from highly durable materials to achieve finishes worthy of such sophisticated animals as the Andean Condor, the most majestic animal in Inca culture and a recurring theme in my pieces. The jaguar heads represent a female deity in Mayan symbolism, as does the ibis, an animal venerated by Egyptian culture. Furthermore, the animal parts, such as claws and fangs, represented in a small format, allude to tools for survival. Hoping to encourage reflection on respect for and the rescue of endangered species.

Pre-Hispanic Identity

This represents a comprehensive study of Mesoamerican identity and its legacy to universal culture, providing a valuable reference point in its worldview and connection with nature, so relevant to emulate today. Ceremonial Pieces: Designs that emulate ornate zoomorphic forms for a better relationship with the deities. This illustrates the human need to create beauty and symbolism in tools and objects for ceremonial or everyday use.

Circular Economy

Addresses the urgency for the contemporary man to create high-quality objects that are not abandoned or discarded in a cycle of consumption. These pieces, crafted from found materials such as stones, iron, and wood, have been affected by deterioration during their creation, thus acquiring a new meaning and a different kind of beauty derived from wear and tear. The pieces are cleaned, cured, and placed under observation to determine their origin and their new function
