The Queens Mint

An idea born from the great reign of Queen Elizabeth II and how her portrait graces lands across the world on coins from the Royal Mint. No other human in history has had their likeness displayed on more coins than her. All are hand painted by me on 12 inch (30 cm) circles of wood. #QueensMintSeries

Casino Chips

The series explores the Human condition of risk taking, gambling, chance and discovery.  Each unique piece is hand painted on a 24 inch diameter disk of solid wood. 1 inch thick.  100% POP!   ©Victor Spinelli 2016

Crucifixion Sculpture Series

Synopsis of the project: As human development continues, we are endangering many species on the planet and driving them to extinction, therefore I have created crosses and placed real animal skeletons and skulls on them. The process of learning to articulate these skeletons and my foray into sculpture has been very enlightening,

Does extinction have a cost?

This series debuted at Aqua Art Miami during Art Basel week in Miami in December 2015.

Materials used: Animal skeletons, steel, copper, brass, wood, blood, sweat and tears.

Olympians

A range of portraits of USA Olympic gold medalists and others that have sat for me.

Beast of Burden

Beast of Burden.  The meaning of “Beast of Burden” is essentially any animal that has been "domesticated" by humans to carry or pull heavy loads such as elephants, horses, oxen, etc. But who are the real “Beasts”? We are riding and burdening all the animals on the planet to advance our take over of Mother Earth and in the mean time we have forgotten our spiritual and collective consciousness with these animals, hence the human body and animal head of emptiness..

Pink Metal

Armors of Peace....... 

An assemblage of materials that play on how the military industrial complex is putting its weight on the world by suppressing and suffocating an earthly marble under an invisible residue of war. White roses for peace

Constitutional Amendments

America is a land of laws and I wanted to bring awareness to our Constitutional Amendments through art. This project spawned in 2012 and is the first non-photographic art that I ever created. The series quickly states and sums up what the Amendments implement in simple memes that are overlaid on the body of the text.
