Artist’s B I O 

Stephen Nicholas is an internationally recognized sculptor whose practice spans over
four decades, blending spiritual symbolism with refined craftsmanship. Trained in both
mechanical technology and fine arts, Nicholas brings exceptional structural precision to
marble, onyx, fiberglass, and mixed-media sculptures. His work draws inspiration from
Gandhara statuary, Buddhist philosophy, and South Asian sacred traditions, resulting in
timeless forms that balance serenity, movement, and cultural depth.
Nicholas’s signature series—Laughing Buddha, Fasting Buddha, Gandhara-style
Bodhisattvas, and Dancing Horses—are sought after by private collectors, interior
designers, and galleries for their enduring aesthetic and contemplative presence. His
sculptures are held in private collections and permanent installations across Asia and
North America.
Now based in Canada, Nicholas continues to produce limited, collectible works that offer
both artistic integrity and long-term value for discerning collectors.
