Through his neo-classical sculpture, Milthon opens up an infinite world where he gives volume to slender, undulating structures which take the form of bodies. Milthon creates his own mythology in which the earth is a source of inspiration. He places his compact and dense blocks and succeeds in transforming the density of his support into aerial and slender human forms. The scale of his work varies from small to monumental with equal plasticity and mastery of the materials used.

Oscar Molina is a painter and sculptor renowned for his “Children of the World” series. These powerful works are inspired by the artist’s vivid memories as a 16-year old making the treacherous journey through the desert to escape the violence of then war-torn El Salvador in the hopes of finding safe haven in the United States.

Newly arrived in the US, the ever-industrious Molina found a talent for landscaping and architectural projects. Over the years, he built a highly successful stone masonry business in Southampton, NY while devoting more and more time to formal art studies and entering the world of painting and sculpture. By the age of 30, Oscar Molina was committing the majority of his time and energy to his true passion–making art.

His talent and drive paid off. In 2015, the artist was invited to participate in “National Letters and Colors”, an exhibition at the National Museum of Anthropology in El Salvador. Molina has also exhibited at Casa de la Cultura in San Miguel de Allende, Mexico and Casa de la Cultura in Marinilla, Columbia as well as at prominent venues in the US.
