Huberto J. Maestas

Sculptor

“Master in Our Mist”, featured article in ElanMagazine, tells of Colorado sculptor Huberto Maestas committed to artistic expression, “a man restless in search for appropriate forms, yet never allows that search to obscure the delight he takes in creating them.”

Addressing his art to the realm of human experience, his sculptural figures are imbued with drama.  This is most evident as experienced in walking the Stations of the Cross Shrine in San Luis, CO.  Creations of the artist, these 32 figures that are both 2/3 size and life-size reveal there is nothing passive about his work.

Diversified in his art albeit sculpting the human form, wildlife, or inanimate objects, Maestas couples his artistic vision with technical skill operating his own bronze casting foundry.  After studying architecture, he received his formal art education at Adams State College with a B.A. in Sculpture and Design.

In 1991 and 1995, Maestas was awarded the rare honor of a private audience with Pope John Paul II.  Commissioned works of art included fifteen Stations of the Cross maquettes for a meditation garden on the grounds of the Vatican Museum permanent collection, and an altar cross with adoration challis for the Pope’s private collection and San Andrea Della Valle Basilica in Rome, Italy.

Ranging from maquette to heroic size, his commissions include a 22’ Resurrection for St. Francis of Assisi Church in Castle Rock, CO, a 10’ Mary Queen of Peace for Santa Maria de la Paz Church in Santa Fe, NM, and currently, a life-size sculpture of fur trapper Marcelino Baca near the Riverwalk in Pueblo, CO. 

As a Liturgical artist and consultant, Maestas’ sculptures grace churches, hospitals, schools, and private and corporate collections across the country, including Denver Bronco John Lynch, Coach Dan Reeves, Cher, Adolph Coors Foundation, Peter Coors, US West Foundation, former Colorado Governor Roy Romer, and Appellate Court Judges of the Tenth Circuit Court of Appeals, Archbishop Charles Chaput, and Cardinal J. Francis Stafford, among others.

Awards and publications comprise the Fra Angelico Artist Award, Best of Show Manitou Springs Outdoor Sculpture, Loveland Sculpture in the Park, and Artscape Sculpture Program, Lou Willie Award for Excellence in Sculpture, Colorado Arts Co-Visions Award, National Sculpture Society fellow, with features in Tradicion Revista, the New York Times, Washington Post, Modern Masters HGN-TV, The Early Show, The Today Show, Columbia magazine, and Lutheran magazine.
